Anyone with behcet's taking rinvoq?
Basically nothing else was controlling the flares, tried aza, colchicine, plaquenil, methotrexate,
mercaptopurine
, humira and probably others that I've forgotten. My steroid use was getting a little out of hand and the higher doses have a pretty negative impact on my mental health.

mercaptopurine
I've had another flare of my AIH and they've started me on
mercaptopurine
daily. I was wondering what help & advice any 6MP users could give me. Experiences, side effects, do's & dont's? I'm nervous about taking it after having a bad reaction to azathioprine. Feel okay so far tho.

Intermittent fasting for crohns?
Currently on methotrexate injections once a week after little success with
mercaptopurine
tablets daily and intolerant to imuran. Looking at the fasting to try and manage pain mainly but also to rest the gut between 2000hrs-12 midday and see if my symptoms improve. Anyone out there tried this ?

Mercaptopurine for crohns.
I have had crohns for a a few years and have never achieved remission. Had various meds including 3 lots of steroids which have affected my bone density not in a good way. As a result I have just been prescribed the above. Side effects look a bit scary and weekly blood tests suggest potential kidney

Has anyone yet had news regarding the high risk groups yet.

Does anyone know how long immunosuppressants take to leave the body...?
I (very recently) started taking immunosuppressants (
mercaptopurine
) for my Crohns. Only 3 weeks ago. I wasn’t concerned at all about the Coronavirus at all until yesterday, but now I am slightly. Much to my horror.

What would you think of this?
Standard doses of azathioprine/ 6-
mercaptopurine
are appropriate. ‘ We are now October. I feel fobbed off and let down. I have had to chase all this up AND arrange an appointment with the hospital so I can go back sooner rather than later. The only ones who have been helpful are my GP surgery.

Joint pain/motor function loss & mercaptopurine
So by quite a lot of clinical deduction and elimination I actually think it’s probably the
mercaptopurine
and I wonder if anyone else has experienced this as well?

75mg Mercaptopurine
My Consultant has just increased my
Mercaptopurine
from 50mg to 75mg. I've just received my tablets from the Pharmacy and have been given 50mg tablets to break in half. My understanding was that these tablets aren't meant to be broken. Does anyone else have to break theirs in half?

6-MP drug
I had to take special blood tests to determine if I was a good candidate I have PBC with overlap of AIH
Mercaptopurine
(6-MP), sold under the brand name Purinethol among others, is a medication used for cancer and autoimmunediseases.

Long time off of here due to life lol.
I am just so fed up with it all...I also don't like taking chemotherapy medication ( 6
mercaptopurine

Which symptoms are more worrying - too many bowel movements or bleeding?
I've been on
Mercaptopurine
for 9 weeks now and have just finished my 8 week course of steroids and still have some symptoms of my on-going flare of UC.
