Expect Jason is taking very good care of you, ...

Hi Louisa We had a thread about this a while back - all had different opinions of course! What gets even more confusing is different countries have different sorts of vaccines and have decided on different priority groups! I can understand where you are coming from with your kids - and I know the US have decided to include them in
the first wave. There is logic in both approaches. I am sure we...

Hi Hannah, Each person's treatment plan is individually tailored to their specific requirements. It is usual for the
azathioprine dose to be increased and the pred is slowly reduced and withdrawn. It can be an anxious time when the pred is first withdrawn, but your hep will not do this until he is confident that you will remain stable on the aza alone.f You will be frequently monitored with ...

Hi Hannah, It is more than likely the azathioprine that is causing your hair loss, this usually settles in time. You may find that your hair is just a little thinner than previously, but not noticeable to anyone else. It is also quite common for hair loss to occur after giving birth, so this may also have affected you. Do appreciate how distressing this is when you first notice it! Each
hep...

Hi there and welcome I couldn't get on with azathioprine and have been taking
mycophenolate (you'll also hear it called Cellcept and there is also Myfortic which is very similar) for nearly 7 years now. Like all meds everyone reacts differently - and for all of us it is finding what balance works best for us both to bring the readings down and as regards side effects. So don't worry too much ...
