Multiple diagnoses incl Lupus, Sjogrens, ONJ, osteoporosis. Took Methotrexate/amethopterin Dec-2002 to May-2003; stopped from serious side effects. Started Imuran/azathioprine in May-2004 at 100gm/day, and still take it. Hoped it would eliminate Prednisone, but it never happened. I had weight gain & bone loss from the Pred, so I can't blame it on Imuran. I have blood tests every 2 mo, & they are always abnormal, LOL (multiple health issues). I will take Imuran forever, & believes it helps.

I have been on Imuran for 4 years for Crohns Disease. I haven't noticed any issues but about a 20 pd weight gain over the past 2 years. Can this weight be taken off if I continue to take the imuran but exercise. I take 75 mg a day. What are the risks of the cancer with this low dose? Barbara/44
