Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi, All Has anyone had problems with Azathioprine, I was put on azathioprine a week and a half ago and I have been having muscle pain and been very tired also. Between all my meetings and pulmonology rehab I am not able to do anything… the only thing I may have gotten accomplished when I could not make my meeting my partner did. My representative who was at this meeting and I had hoped to meet. My partner was able to talk to him when explained why I was not there and he then was able to ask him about to join in Brain Baird to co sponsor The PFREA, H.R. 1079. He right away went on the phone started to work on it…so that was my excitement of the day. but now The pulmonologist who used to go to in Bellingham and also uses same treatments Doctor Ragu I guess he worked together with him. Has a complete different picture of what I have from the biopsy report. The other pulmonologist who is mostly a lung cancer pulmonologist just gave me 5 mg of prednisone every other day. When I went last week to my, pulmonologist he wanted me to go right away to Doctor Ragu and was somewhat worried that the appointment was not until the 5th of may. He said we could not wait any longer, I had to go on azathioprine 50 milligrams and up it every other week to 300 mg then do 10 mg prednisone every other day. I have been sleeping all day through this meeting but now my face is getting swollen, lips and tongue…My belly is enlarged I usually have flat belly and itching but no rashes. I quickly looked at side effects and it is a side effect I guess but it dangerous can I wait until Monday.? Or will I wait for my blood test on Wednesday. I have no clue I guess I will go to bed again and see if someone will respond tomorrow. I hate going to the emergency room or should I just quit taking it? Thank you for your help, Erna Erna 1992 bird fanciers syndrome, CAD & MI 2004 ILD 2008 NSIP 2009 Washington State Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
