Greetings everyone!
My name is Mike, I've had Crohn's for 8years now. I've had surgery to remove a part of my intestines in 2009, used azathioprine for a couple months before losing my insurance and discontinuing. Now I'm married, have insurance, and have been actively trying to get my wife pregnant. Now my gi wants me to start up azathioprine again at 250mg a day, is this safe for us while trying to get pregnant ?
Also is occasional light drinking ok while on azathioprine?
Any advice on top of all the reading would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
