Stomach pain after taking Imuran

[Malicious]

Hey everyone,

So I've been taking Imuran since July (you can see my thread about it below) :ylol: And for the most part it was going really well.

But for the past few days, I've found after I take it in the morning, I get stomach pains like I used to when I was flaring. The pains have also been happening after I eat breakfast (an hour or more later). Yesterday morning, I waited for hours before I ate breakfast and I was fine.

It's just a bit confusing to have these stomach pains after I take my meds and after I eat on occasion. I also find after I take Imuran it wakes up my bowels for the morning, not sure if that's normal either. :shifty-t:
And after I eat breakfast :/

A few nights ago I was waking up in the middle of the nght with extreme stomach pains.

It's just super weird! But it means I've been missing out on work/life and I really need it to stop!

I really think you need to chat with you Doctor

Try taking half of your dose in the morning and half at night. I had the same problem until I did this.

When is your next regular blood work due?

I also think you should contact your GI.
