hello everyone, i was diagnose 11/22/09 and my GI doc put me on 40mg of Predisone. and when i was down to 5mg of Predisone he put me on 100mg of Imuran. Well i was only on 100mg of Imuran for 3 weeks then i started to have bad side effects with Imuran so my GI doc took me off of it and was going to put me on another med when i went to visit him 2 weeks after so for that 2 weeks i was off all meds. Well when i went in he wanted to put me on Imuran's cousin 6MP but i was too scared to take this medicine cuz if it was the same med as Imuran i didnt want those bad side effects to come back again so i decided not to take it. Eeekk i know probably a bad choice but was too scared of it so ive been off of allllllllll medicine for the last 3months just putting up with the small cramping i always had. But the cramping is getting a bit worse(only when i eat) but still not using the washroom a lot(i never did). So i went to my family doctor cuz i started to get stiffness in my hand joints so she sent me off to get blood work and an xray of the hand and told me to make another appointment with my GI cuz of my cramping and a bit bleeding. She looked at my chart from my GI doctor and he had put in about
Remicade use if the 6Mp didnt work. Now can anybody tell me what choice they would make between 6MP or
Remicade?? I read up on this
Remicade and it was talking bout how it can cause
Lupus, has anyone had a problem with getting lupus on this drug?? i know i need to be on a drug for my Crohn's so it doesnt get bad but all these drugs are just sounding way to harsh i just dont know what to do
im sorry if this is too long and if it goes here or not, sorry if it doesnt :shifty-t:
