[Stellatum]

My neurologist thinks that I will go into remission in a year or two just on Imuran. I am not so optimistic. Still, I am glad to be on the drug, because I can't help wondering what's down the road for me: which autoimmune disease I'm going to get next. Rheumatoid arthritis? MS? Imuran might not be strong enough to take away my MG symptoms, but maybe it's what I need to prevent something worse. Almost everyone here has more than one autoimmune disease. I have MG and Graves already.

My other vague thought is that Imuran is a pretty weak or slow-acting drug, because there are TEN kids in my house with a horrible messy cold (my five, plus five little ones my teens have been baby-sitting in the evenings). And I don't have it. That's how I've always been--really resistant to viruses--but I thought the Imuran would change that. Probably it will, but not just yet (I've only been on it a month or so). I'm certainly not complaining! Just noticing.
