I am currently on Apriso and Azathioprine. Idk about side effects really because I wad on different meds when I first got sick and they had some that I didnt realize were side effects till I started Apriso and they went away quickly. Asacol or something like that was the first one. I do not recomend that one.

I have been on azathioprine for ? Years-at least 10, probably more. I am in remission, last scope Dr said, if it wasn’t for the resection scar, he couldn’t tell I have Crohn’s. I gave no side effects. Have to have labs every 3 months, but that’s all. It has been a life saver for me. The other med you mentioned, I have no knowledge of. Best of luck to you.

Asacol is brutal 😥

Thank you. I'm having trouble getting my head around going on medication.

I'm on humera it's working pretty well for me but for some people I think it wears off after a while

I’m on Azathioprine every night an infliximab infusions every 6 weeks to manage my Crohn’s. I experience pain, loose stool and tiredness often. Eat healthily too and am athletic playing football. It’s not great but hopefully my consultant will sort it out

For Crohns I take mesalamine. It helps most of the time. Latest colonoscopy was good. But I do get occasional, what I call, flare ups, and its not fun.

I've recently been put on azathioprine and I've had the weirdest symptoms. I've developed a full body tremor that's worse in my right hand and makes it difficult to right and an extreme sensitivity to temperature!
