[QUOTE="soupdragon69, post: 57245, member: 657"] I was on [wiki2="Azathioprine"]Imuran[/wiki2] and it affected my liver. Had to stop it last december. Am on remicade and have been for over a year now and still managing on it. Took a while (weeks) to have an impact for me and I still nosedive GI wise due to macroscopic inflammation that increases 10-14 days pre next infusion. Other than that I have had reasonable results with remicade. Both carry side effects and risks and yes can be downright scarey too but its really up to you to read up on both and gather the info that helps you to decide. Many find Imuran or 6MP work well for them. Others like us so far on this thread have changed to remicade etc as it didnt suit. There are others on the site that Remicade hasnt worked for either so its a very individual thing and its a case of trying them out to see what suits you to be honest. [/QUOTE]
