Speak to your consultant, nausea is to be expected, but sickness is not to be tolerated, I was taken of AZA for this reason (amongst others). All the best.

I was on azathiopine and was so ill l had to stop taking it, unable to eat terrible stomach pains, l lost 6lbs in weight in 5 days on it. My rhemuy put me on Methotrexate and l am fine on this. So contact your rhemy soon. Hope you feel better soon. Lucymay
