Hi all,
So my son has been on 6-MP for several months. About 5 weeks ago his dose was upped from 50 to 75 mg 1/day. For the past few weeks he was getting super nauseous to the point where he missed a lot of school. So we got blood work done and his 6-MP levels are too high so the doc brought him back down to 50mg. His white blood cell count was low and his liver markers were high. His lipase is normal thank goodness. But now I'm really second guessing the 6-MP! If he has only been on it this short of a time and it's doing this? He is also on Colazol. Has tried Pentasa which did nothing. Just needed to vent but of course would love some advice.
I'm one stressed mama.
