Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Just wondering if anyone else has been on Imuran, and if so, if you had a cold would you call your doctor? I have been on Imuran for just over a week now (Imuran suppresses the immune system). I seem to have a stuffy nose, scratch throat, sneezing, no cough. The nurse for my insurance company thinks I should call my doctor just to let him know I have a cold. Seems kind of extreme to me. It is Saturday. He isn't going to get the message until Monday. What would others do? Glad to see the Florida Lupies checking in. Our family in Minnesota have been praying for your safety. We had a beautiful day today. Last week was on the chilly side, but I prefer cool to hot, but that is just me. Seems weather effects each Lupie differently. Those in the South seem to like the heat and those in the North prefer the cold, well for the most part (lol). Hope everyone is having a relaxing night. Suppose I should do some laundry or make some supper (almost done with laundry, and no one is hungry yet, so why make dinner?).

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I was on imuran for a few years way back when I was diagnosed. ly, I wouldn't have called the doctor. I didn't when I was on chemo either, as long as there was no fever. If you have a fever you should definitely call your doctor.
