Hello Needs,
I was diagnosed with systemic Lupus in 2011. I proved allergic to Plaquinel after getting a severe rash and was then put on 50mg of Azathioprine. I have had no side effects. I do contend with low slightly lower WBC and RBC. In 2015 I began having changes in my hearing. Sensations of feeling muffled that lasted hours to a day before clearing. My rheumatologist put me on 3mg of prednisone at that time and I was on that about 5 years. About 3 years ago I had a dramatic change in hearing in my left ear. My ENT could find no cause and suggested a form of tinnitus possibly. Due to some changes in my liver enzyme numbers my gastroenterologist put me on a 2 yr treatment of Budesonide (a low dose) and increased my Azathioprine to 75mg. My liver returned to normal levels and I’ve been taken off the Budesonide. With Lupus I had developed autoimmune hepatitis. The increased Azathioprine appears to be controlling this aspect of my Lupus.
With all that being said, for me, the Azathioprine has been a very effective drug. I would be very interested in knowing what is contained in your “green”drink? I’ve always believed my ear /hearing problems are Lupus related.
Good luck with your journey 🙏. I appreciate your struggle!
