Hey there! I was on pred and imuran - I loved it! Unfortunately it did not love me - my hands and feet started to peel really badly so I went back to cellcept.
You MAY initially be weaker, but I bet this stuff works!
Hope you feel GREAT soon!
Take care!

anything i should look out for? any new changes i should make in lifestyle/routines? i know a lot of folks here have been on pred/imuran so i welcome your input.
