Imuran (azathioprine) for Crohn's Disease, Maintenance: My doctor has put me on Imuran for about three weeks now and I am starting to feel some side effects such as weakness, body aches and breakouts all over my body. So far not so good with the treatment. I will be calling my doctor for sure.

Imuran (azathioprine) for Myasthenia Gravis: Been on Imuran 6 months and find it very helpful for my ocular symptoms and moderately helpful for my generalized Myasthenia Gravis symptoms (fatigue and weakness). So far normal hemograms, hepatic function tests and renal/chem-7 results.

Imuran (azathioprine) for Crohn's Disease, Maintenance: I have been taking 50 mg daily and have been for six months. I had a serious flare six months ago and a small bowel resection two months later. I feel that Imuran and Remicade combination is keeping me well and feeling perfectly normal. No side effects so far.
I am very glad to have tapered off Prednisone and am happy with Imuran and Remicade for Crohn's maintenance.

Imuran (azathioprine) for Eczema: Before taking imuran, I was riddled with ezcema from top to toe, bleeding open sores, constantly on antibiotics and cortizone tablets and tablets for depression. It was a vicious cycle that lasted for approximately 3 years. Before this I only had mild ezcema, which I had for 15 years, treated with cortizone creams. Imuran was prescribed by an allergist and immunoligist. At first I took it with cortizone tablets and then after about 2 - 3 months I was only taking Imuran. I have never felt better. I only have a problem with my eyelids now, but this I can handle. I have been on Imuran now for just over a year and fortunately have had very few side effects.
