Today I saw the IBD nurse, she's calling me back tomorrow to tell me whether the consultant wants me to continue with azathioprine at a low dose to see if my body will get used to it (liver enzymes have been raising and I'm suffering breathlessness) or if it will be changed to 6mp. They won't have today's blood results till tomorrow.
So, a question for you...have any of you on azathioprine experienced any breathlessness? If you did, did it mean you coming off aza? Or did this side effect gradually wear off?
I'm lead to believe it's a fairly uncommon side effect...but nevertheless it is a documented side effect.
I'm also to have some sort of TB blood test week just in case they decide to put me on infliximab, never heard of this till today
What a steep learning curve
