Hi guys
I havent been on here for quite some time cos I have been doing really well but lately things havent been going so great!
I started Azathioprine in February and have been increasing my dose over time. I now take 125mg per day and have been doing for about 2.5 months. The only side effect I have had seemed to be some mild nausea each time I increased my dose. However in the last 2-3 weeks I have been feeling constantly sick, am exhausted, have little or no appetite and I have had low right abdominal pain.
I hadnt had any pain for months and it is getting me really down that it is back again! Its not excrutiating pain but its enough that I notice its there and I can feel that there is inflammation as when I press on my right side I can feel it is swollen - It feels the same as it did the last time I had a flare up!
Although I have little/no appetite I have to make myself eat cos if I dont I feel weak and cant function at all - which is no use when I am at work!
Ive been trying to get hold of my Specialist but so far he hasnt come back to me - I didnt call till Friday though - I thought it would all just go away with time!!
Finally, I dont know if this is relevant but I have really bad mid to lower back pain - I cannot get comfy at all! I have always suffered with upper back pain and neck pain but ive not had pain in my mid back before - it feels like someone is squeezing me around my middle! Has anyone had this before?
Any way, sorry for the rant, Im just frustrated that I was doing so well for a few months and now feel like ive took 2 steps backward!
Love Vicky
