I am really nervous about starting azathrioprine (imuran) for my crohn’s. I’ve got the packet waiting on my medicine cupboard but I’m just so worried about taking it right now.
My son’s mental health has really taken a blow during covid lockdown and it’s taking all the energy that my partner and I have to keep it together and support him. I have none left for myself. And I can’t afford to be wiped out by side effects. That’ll put even more pressure on my partner and he hasn’t got it to spare either.
So the azathrioprine and the Prednisolone are wait in the cupboard and I keep putting it off day after day. But I also can’t let this flare go on.
Gotta start tonight I guess and hope the side effects don’t knock me flat. And the prednisolone tomorrow— that’ll be a trip.
