Hello; I'm new to the forum, not sure this is the good spot to ask these questions, so if not, can you tell me where to put them, and how please,
I have a lot of question :
I am using azathioprine 150mg per day (3 times 50mg) started in december last year, and perfusions of infliximab 5mg/kg every 8 weeks, I weigh 67-72 kg
I have read online that you can go without any treatment if you eat specific foods, what do you think about that ? if thats the case do you have any books to advise ? or could anyone sum them up.
I read a thread that the treatment could work with only infliximab (without azathioprine), what do you think about that ? should I ask my doctor to try without ? do you have any alternatives ?
I read that azathioprine makes the chances of having a cancer higher for younger people, I am 17 turning 18 in november, is it a good idea to keep using it ?
How often do you have appointements with your doctor ? mine is about every 6 month it seems , when I go to the hospital every 8 weeks I talk with a doctor (its random, not always the same)
What does you doctor put in your blood test ? mine didn't put in blood sugar (
glycemia), I asked my aunt that is a doctor to give me a seperate prescription and was at 1.22 g/L in january, then 1.14 in march, and 1.05 2 days ago.
How often should you go to the dermatologist as azathioprine makes your chances of having skin cancer higher (how rigourous should they be ?)? couldn't they add tumour markers in the blood test by precaution ? are there any other exams that need to be done ?
I asked my doctor if food matters while having the treatment, she said no, what do you think ?
couple month ago had a 38 fever for more then a week but nothing showed up on the blood test, could the drugs hide an infection ?, also was always towards 36,2 temperature but after that I am often towards 37-37,2 any ideas why (asked one of the doctors at the hospital, she pretty much said its not important because its not a fever, for her a fever is over 38,3) ?, it could seem like I am paying a little to attention to my temperature but it was mostly consistant before
Also the doctor didn't tell me to take any precautions for covid, what is your opinion ?, I asked her to write me a paper to get exempt from sports class this past year because no one wears mask
Should I try another doctor ?
sorry for any mistakes in this message, I am from France, but believe the US is way more competent in crohns thats why I am asking these questions here.
Thanks for any answers you have
