Hi!
It’s so rare to find someone else with this!
I was put on imuran , what about you?
But , having RA also, I’ve embarked on a plant based gluten and dairy free diet. I would love to wean off the Imuran! The naturopath I see has started me on Low dose Naltrexone to help as well.
I’m hopeful.

Thank you for your response! I'm pretty newly diagnosed so just trying to accumulate as much info as I can re: people having lived expeience with it. I know doctors always rush to the pharmaceutical approach, but I always wonder about other approaches that may be effective and are more natural.

I'm currently on a low dose of prednisone and my doctor just added Imuran early January, and I have my follow-up mid-February.

I'm definitely noticing fatigue once I started on the Imuran. Did you experience this on Imuran? Prior to that it was insomnia with the prednisone.

I've seen differences in enzymes in a very short time, even just with the prednisone and hope this continues as, ideally, I would like to take the natural approach re: diet and lifestyle once my enzymes are stabilized, so was curious if others had accomplished this.

Really appreciate your insight and info!
