Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Hello, Well, I had my 2nd liver biopsy a couple of weeks ago, and my doctors said there is really no sign of improvement in my condition. My prednisone has already been increased to a level where the side effects are getting bad and so my doctor doesn't want to increase them anymore. So before my doctor seriously considers transplant options (i'm seeing a transplant team next week)...he told me to stop taking imuran...in case it was contributing to liver toxity. Then I'll have blood tests to see if it has done any good. (which i'm getting this weekend). Quite frankly I'm scared to death of getting a transplant. I've seen a few success stories on here, but I would like to hear more...just to ease my mind. If you don't want to post to the list, just e-mail me privately at ldm_12@.... Also, has anyone else's doctor told them to stop taking imuran when you're not responding to the other meds. (btw, I'm also currently on 40mg Pred., 40mg lasix [diuretic], 100mg aldactone [diuretic] and 900 mg ursodiol.) And one more question what the heck can i do to get rid of this belly (ascites)?!?!?... i look like a freak when i look in the mirror sideways... Sorry for the " novel " ...but I don't post here often, so when I do, it tends to be long. Thanks in advance for any advice.
