Title: Starting Immuran
Post by: SjoGirl on June 07, 2017, 10:23:49 AM
Hello all,

Now that I and my rheumy know that I have the enzyme needed to process Immuran I am going to start taking it this weekend. It's to reduce inflammation inside the lining of the joints in my hands and wrists, though I'm hopeful it will help with other areas of my body as well.

Wish me luck!

P.S. I'll have to have blood levels checked after two weeks to be sure there aren't any untoward impacts.

I have been taking it for about a year. It really helps.The best thing it does is keep more inflammation and scarring awas from my lungs. I get blood tests every 4 weeks. In the beginning, my stomach was a little upset, but not bad and it went away.

Good luck!
