So I'm on the cusp of being diagnosed. I'm probably not going to be diagnosed with crohn's or colitis but a more generic 'inflammatory bowel disease' and now unfortunately ankylosing spondylitis.
As such I'm due to be going on azathioprine after I have a spine/pelvis MRI. If there's inflammation on the MRI I'm going on sulfasalazine and if there's none I'm going on azathioprine. My rheum has run the TMPT test so I know he's serious now :eek2:
I've heard every horrible story about azathioprine but I don't hear any good and I'm freaked out about going on it. My doctors attitudes haven't helped much either.
Has anyone had any good experiences with little to no side effects and complications? I am hoping it's just that you only hear the bad and not the good!
Thanks
