Clinic today. Bloods now normal....shame I feel anything but normal. They seemed keen to consider increasing the Azathioprine, to see if I could reduce the steroids. The rationale is that as it is prescribed according to bodyweight.... now I'm 8kg heavier (thanks to the steroids) it could be increased and potentially be more effective. So basically, they give me a drug to make me fat in order to increase the other horribly toxic drug. If I hadn't been made so fat it wouldn't be necessary. Not sure how much more of this shit I can take. Despite bloods being normal, I'm to stay on 10mg pred for another 2 weeks....just to be sure. I have asked them to consider budesonide as an alternative to the pred (less side effect and more expensive, so better for me but not the NHS)..they're not keen
