Re: Azathioprine/Imuran dosage & WEIGHT

[Guest guest]

Before this auto-immune business, I weighed 110 pounds. Prednisone gave me a

gift of the other 28! But, you gotta love how it works. I didn't get to call

my rheumy yesterday, darn job keeps getting in my way. I'll have to call him

today, job or no job, my fingers aren't working too well and without them

working there will be no job. If I can't get him, I know the

drill....................15 mgs of Pred for 3 days, then 10, then 5, and finally

back to my 1 mg for a week or two and then I'll wean myself off of it.

I am not complaining about it. My 38 year old nephew has been diagnosed with

Lymphoma, and a cousin just got the news that she has MS. My daughter has

finally accepted (after her 3rd invitro) that she cannot have a child, after two

years of hell trying to conceive. It breaks my heart to see her so

disappointed.

We just have to keep going....
