Imuran. Not sure where to put this ?

Hi,

Its me, whiney nursey lol. Well today I got my biopsy results and they definately show "active cystitis and chronic interstitial cystitas, but no malignancy," thank God.

In the doctors letter it says he wants me to take Imuran and says its the only approved med for IC. He said "reconsider" it........I never said I wouldnt take it, it was Elmiron that was so expensive......

Anyone know about this druggypoo and what it does and if its going to break my wallet too? I see its approved for Crohns, which I have and other inflammatory diseases........so it might kill several birds with one stone if it works.

Thanks guys. Btw, I'm doing better. Donna was right, I was just too impatient to wait on the hydro to help.

I am sad, dont know why, but seeing IC in print just gave me the willies, even tho we knew I had it. Oh well.

Hope you guys are doing well. Hugs to alllllllllllllll, Sandy

Sandy...I don't know anything about this med. I just wanted to tell you that I am glad you are doing better. :)

Sandy, I have both IC and Crohn's Disease. I take 100 mg of imuran every day. It helps my Crohn's a lot, but doesn't help my IC.

Hi guys. Darlene, I'm sorry you have Crohns......and IC. I wondered if he'd written down the name of the wrong med or something and meant Elmiron. Is Elmiron actually approved for IC or just experimental? I'm so glad it helps Crohns, because I can always use a little help in that area. Now I'm scratching my head?.?.?.?.

Sharon, thanks for the post, I'm glad I'm doing better too....Take care :)


Thanks for writing. Sandy
