Maintenance Meds

Nope, I thought the the Dr. at Johns Hopkins would talk my doctors at Vandy into taking me off the CTX back months ago but nope. They all agreed that mine was a tough case and I wasn't in remission just yet.

Yes, I do miss Al and the Hurricane comments. He was such a good egg!

Exactly Annekat. This group is awesome and who better to ask than my fellow weggies that have been there before me?

Hurricane comments??? I remember Al but not sure what this refers to?

I take Azathioprine, 100 mg a day. I've been on it for 3 years and it seems to work fine. I had slight hair loss in the begining but nothing to worry about. My white blood cell count is consistently low. The doctors tell me it's because of the Azathiprine. I get upset stomach often, and have to watch cuts as you are much more susceptible to infection. otherwise I feel fine and haven't had any bad reactions to it. I'm happy with it.
