I've been on Imuran 100mg for 3 weeks now. 10mg Prednisolone tapering not sure why because the aza is supposed to take 3 months or more to take full effect. (thinking about uping this to 25mg until the 3 month mark). Calcium and Salopraz 40mg.
Any way I have supicions that my crohns is returning because of the low dose of prednisolone and the stomach pains after eating certain foods like processed meats really kills me. I've never really suffered from the pains in the stomach that much but last week it put me in hospital.. Ouch!
Nausea, fatigue (I could have a sleep every afternoon), headaches, bloating, sweats, heartburn, cloudy head and generally feeling bad all day.. Just the simple tasks can be a real effort (My house work is suffering terribly). I am assuming these are a combination of crohn's and the meds.. how much do you put up with before you request a change of meds? My head tells me to perservere with all these side effects because I think I should at least give Imuran a chance to kick in..
Weekly bloods have been clear, but I'm not sure why the specialist has me tappering when the Imuran takes 3 months to work? Won't the crohn's just come back before the Imuran can take effect?
Any advice would be grateful.
