The gastroenterologist put me on an immunosuppressant, Mercaptopurine... that's a mouthful to say. I had completely forgot about him running the blood tests to see if I could handle the drug the last time I had a flare up. I've got a taper of prednisone until May. Plus I have to go and have blood work weekly now. Hopefully this works and keeps me better. I dislike going on new meds especially when all the side effects are pretty much things you already experience... Hopefully the 6mp doesn't affect me too much. I am just more concerned about work. My white count stays pretty good and I have never had any trouble, but who knows now with another drug. Plus, I work in retail and I'm just nervous and worried.
