My doctors took me off the imuran and I started feeling better immediately. Because asacol has not kept me in remission, we'll have to discuss remicade or something else now.

It was very effective until this year when I am starting to have active Crohn's again and am moving on to a biologic.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 1975 and took azulfadine until 2002 when I had a resection. Went on pentasa but had flareup and was put on imuran- 150mg in 2003. It was very effective until this year when I am starting to have active Crohn's again and am moving on to a biologic. After the resection I began to exercise and get into shape and felt better than I have ever felt. I was also able to reduce my stress level and eat right and get plenty of rest. All the side effects listed for this drug scared the hell out of me. I had no side affects on imuran and felt better than I had ever felt.
