Still positive. No obvious side effects from azathioprine, but someone else with this says I may still get side effects in a few weeks, so will have to remain patient. Asked some others with the condition about returning to work part time. Mixed response, advised to go slowly, make sure boss understands condition/effects of condition etc. Some went back part time after 3 months ish, others were unable. I really want to TRY part time (if work agree) by end Nov/beginning Dec...........not least as am now on 1/2 pay and all pay will cease on 12th Nov (other than statutory sick which wouldn't  even pay the utility bills). Plan to discuss with boss next week and see if we can agree a phased return. I guess I will know quite quickly if I'm being too ambitious. I am doing a bit more each day though, so feel I am making some progress. Have never eaten so healthily in my life........M putting up with this valiantly although she says she feels like a stuffed pepper from all the veg she's eating. weight stable. Managing 1-2 1 hour dog walks a day and afternoon donkey care. Able to drive/shop/cook.....all stuff I couldn't have imagined a few weeks ago. Bloods tomorrow, joy!
