I have been taking 100mg of azathioprine for a little over a year now following a bad bout of ulcerative colitis, my consultant would like to keep me on it for at least another year. For the past few weeks I have constantly been feeling unwell. There are so many viruses going around at the moment and because I have three kids in school, I think that I am catching the viruses or bugs which are around. I don't ever remember having one infection or virus after another. Has anyone else, who takes azathioprine had the same problem?:

My doctor tells me the cause is my severe asthma. The tablets lower my resistance but without them I'd be in a bad way.

I do have to have blood tests every three months to keep an eye on my blood count though. As long as that remains normal then I can continue taking the tablets.
My Crohns seems to be well controlled and if taking tablets, having blood tests and B12 injections help then so be it!
