    ahh, ibd meds are hell!! I had to switch from aza to 6MP due to nausea/vomiting and then go off the medication entirely since it just got worse, not just on octasa and got told to "come back if i flare up again and we'll see about biologics" oof. I hope everything works out for you

      Thats such a strange choice to not put you on biologics yet 🫠 but yeah i had no issues with mercaptopurine until we tried to up the dose?! And the IBD pharmacy were just obstructing my care by october last year i was fed up 😤 hopefully it all goes okay coz im done lol

    god it’s so stressful my path was mesalamine -> pred -> azathioprine -> 6mp -> remicade -> remicade plus methotrexate -> rinvoq IT’S ALL BAD!!! good luck

      Yeah its a pain in the arse. Ive definitely been lucky to not switch my med type until now but IBD pharmacy were just obstructing my care and i was too concerned about my liver to keep pissing about like this any longer. Now its the trouble of trying to get in for blood tests every two weeks 🙄 god help me.
      I think i read some studies about mesalamine being used in combo with azathioprine but now cant remember WHY 😂 i think mesalamine can improve azathioprines effectiveness? Keeping that in my back pocket to bring up in future with my drs lol

      @cd40612 get checked for the hepatic porphyrias. Many docs and hospitals are checking their crohns/ibs, etc patients for this because a big percentage are misdiagnosed and the drugs for the other conditions are hell for people with porphyria
