Hi Everyone,
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Ilietis a year ago. I went undiagnosed for many years, and have deep ulcers. I have tried many medications such as prednisone when first diagnosed messavant and enticourt. Then changed to Pentasa and enticourt, then just enticourt. All helped for a while but then I started getting side effects. So I just started Imuran which is supposed to be an amazing drug (my sister has Crohn's too and has been taking this pill for 5 years successfully...since I started taking it my tummy cramps up every time I eat...my diarrheaha which after being back on prednisone had improved, now I am going a lot again. On top of that, I have been feeling speedy shaky and later very sleepy like Im drugged...I also have Non Active Hepatitis,
(40+years) and I have had some liver pain, on and off, never lasts for long but I am concerned..I understand sometimes you have to get used to a pill and the side effects could go away..Has anyone had these side effects when they first started Imuran? How long does it take for it to pass? Any advice would be appreciated..
My goodness! I've written a book! Sorry to take so much space, this is my first post, I just registered today!
