I've had two rather large tattoos done both of them whilst being on Aza for the treatment of my Crohns and had no problems at all :-). Still got a good 3 hours or so to do to complete my chest.

Thanks :) Will be sure to keep you posted after my appointment. Going to start looking into the infliximab and biological treatments now.

I see my consultant on the 18th so I'll be sure to ask about the Aza / my treatment in full detail then. As soon as i told the surgeons and other medical staff my dose of Aza they all mention its probably time to try and move me onto infliximib especially now with the complex fistula. From the...

Hello again. Not sure if this is the right place but thought I would drop an update into my current situation, Last Wednesday i had to move-forward an appointment with a surgeon(to take a look at what could be yet another abscess forming that wasn't responding to ciproflaxcin) during the...

Noted down so I remember to bring it up when I next visit, thanks for the information :)

Most times twice monthly, recently I've been seen by my consultant on a month-6 week basis. Been on this dose for quilt a while though, did try lower it last September by dropping 25mgs every month but it seemed to just make my Crohns flare up again. My Crohns is quite severe in the large...

Ah no sorry for the confusion. I'm actually no longer on the prednisolone, once they figured out that every time my dose went down the symptoms came back they moved me onto azathioprine and over the course of a year now my dose has slowly risen to 375mg. I often get asked by medical staff (...
