So its offical my summer has begun.I got sunburn and its only 65 out!My headaches have begun along with the nausea and fatigue.I feel like crap right now and all I got to say is I hate Imuran during the summer season(not that I don't any other season)Its just summer is the worse.I think my fit season is Fall.I don't have to worry about the heat or the cold.Its just right for me.In the cold my arthitis acts up and I am allergic to snow(can you believe it?) In the spring the arthitis is still acting up and then it rains whcih I am allergic to too.Its the acid in them that burns my skin so I am pretty much covered from head to toe.Then there is Summer which comes with the swelling,the Sunburns,fatigue,nausea and on and on it goes.Fall I can deal with its the right temp for me.People ask why I still live in MI if this comes going on but I wouldn't be around the family I love and who loves me.So I suck it up.But just felt like venting.Anyone else have a problem like this with the Imuran.
 
I took Imuran a few years ago and it just made me feel crappy all of the time. It ended up I was allergic to it.

During the summer I usually feel crappy. It doesn't matter what I'm taking, the heat and humidity really take its toll on me.
 
Pentasa oddly enough makes me feel the same way. Every time the weather gets humid and up above 80 degrees, let the games begin! Nausea, dry heaves, shakiness, and general illness set in. And as for the sun, well I live in Los Angeles and I'm Norwegian, so of course I would need MORE sun sensitivity...did I mention all this makes me moody?:ymad:
 
I carry a ziplock bag with me everywhere in the summertime for my dry heaving episodes and count the days til September lol.
