    Stopping Aza, soon starting 6mp

    Hiya everyone, I will be soon stopping the Aza for the second time, first time was because of neutropenia (200mg dose) and this time because constant headaches, fatigue and a bit of a grumpy tum (125mg dose). My GI has decided to try me on 6mp so I am just waiting for a script to be sorted...

    Off the prednisone - wahoo!!

    Just a little FYI - I have managed to taper off the pred without tummy problems :dance: I stopped it over a week ago and apart from a couple of tiny niggles that I know were food related I have been fine. Looks like the Aza is doing it's job :) NB Had a few joint pains and fatigue but I have...

    Unexpected blood results...

    Howdy everyone. I am nearly at week six of my Aza re-start and am at 75mg. I have a query about some of my blood results (yes still on weekly tests currently - yawn) and it is to do with my WBC and neutrophil counts. Surprisingly enough instead of being low they are actually high!! According to...

    Hi there, I just also wanted to add my support to you guys. Until I saw this thread it never entered my head that anyone in the LGBT community would be treated differently so thank you for opening my eyes :hug: It is so disappointing that these prejudices are still alive and strong and like...

    Welcome back Azathioprine!!!

    Hello everyone :bigwave: After several phone calls today and a dash to my GP and Tesco pharmacy I am offically back on the Aza. My GI doc is taking things slowly and has started me on 25mg daily and then 25mg increments every two weeks until I get to 125mg - of course this is only if the...

    Colonoscopy done - back on the Pred

    Hi all, had my colonoscopy done this afternoon. The prep was the worst I have ever experienced (this was my 7th colonoscopy), I drank the picolax last night at 6pm and spent a good part of the evening throwing up. It was bad enough that I didn't do the Klean Prep this morning but this didn't...

    Sudocrem - worth its weight in gold!!

    Hi, I am not sure if people use this but it came to mind especially as I currently have a grumpy tummy. As you know a little problem with having D a fews times a day is that you get a sore bum, well if Sudocrem can help a little baby's bottom it can certainly help mine! I apply some during the...

    Hi everyone!

    I have been diagnosed with crohns disease for nine and a half years since shortly before my seventeenth birthday and I thought it was about time that I joined a forum and spoke to people who have gone through the same or similar issues as I have. Over the years I have been put on a range of...
