Does anyone else have advice for me?

Thanks for the reply Chris! Have you generally had a good time with your immune system in general while on the medication? Things like getting sick and other infections?

Thanks for the link Dusty. Like I said I'd going to check with my doctor. There were quite a few posts in there about tattoos on Remicade. Does Remicade have similar effects on the immune system as Imuran?

Hi there, So I've been on Imuran for about 3-4 months now. I think it's working? I dunno. I've started to put on some healthy weight, which I guess is a good thing? I still have occasional bouts of diarrhea and mouth sores and such though. But that's all besides the point. I have a couple...

Haha that is perfect. I'm currently going to school (lots of germs) and work as a bank teller (lots of germs x2) so I was like "damn, I am the person who should LEAST likely go on this drug!". Thanks again everyone for quelling my fears regarding this. :yoshijumpjoy: BTW, this is the best...

Thanks a lot for the support guys! I'll be taking tapering Prednisone for 8 weeks, starting with 40mg (I think, don't have the bottle with me) then slowly going down to 5. I've also got some Imuran which he wants me on for some length of time that I will probably find far too long :thumleft:
