Default Imuran dose

I'm taking 200mg a day. I have to believe it helped me this summer, because a month after going to that dose (from 150mg) I had a sort of remission for three months. Now I'm mildly relapsing. My doctor is reluctant to up the dose to 250. Is anyone on that high of a dose?

My labs have all been fine, and I don't notice any side effects from the Imuran. I am still, as I have been for years, very resistant to infection. I have seven kids. Sometimes everyone in the house has a horrible, messy cold, with a cough and sore throat, and I never catch it--or if I do, it lasts an afternoon and then it's gone. I just don't get sick. It runs in my family. That hasn't changed.

I see my neurologist on Monday. I am preparing my strategy to ask for the next intervention. Thanks.

Abby
