Has anyone been on azathioprine (Imuran) for a very long time?

I was on it for 3 months and it gave me severe pancytopenia. They switched me to Stelara and I'm doing fine with my Crohn's. Platelets have never gone back to normal level 4 years later.

Hi catherine1290,
What is pancytopenia? How is it diagnosed? Is there a blood test?
Thank you!

Hi, Catherine. I seem to have the opposite issue where my platelets have been extremely high. I wish you the best.
