I took Imuran for a few months until I had too many infections.
What I didn’t realize was that side effects could be lymphoma- not yet!- and skin cancer. Later on I had more than my share of skin cancers- basal cell and squamous cell. Now I’ll have the second one removed from my nose.

Ive heard imuran means it when it describes the variety of side effects. I think I will pass on that one if offered.

Update: All was well on this course of Budesonide - round two for me. But 11 days after I tapered off I relapsed again. So I’ve begun round three at minimal effective dose (3mg/ day). I follow up with him in a month to describe status.
So back to low fiber, fat, and sugar …I’m thinking i will be on maintenance dose of this forever.
If it keeps working.
