I took Imuran for 12 years for Crohns Disease, when I first started taking it the only bad side effect was lymphoma and thinning hair. Well 5 yrs ago I was diagnoised with skin cancer. Still to this day I am having several lesions of the skin cancer removed from my body. Approx. 20-25 lesions removed so far. The Dr. told me it will never go away but will slow down, after 5 years it hasn't slowed down so when will it ?? Does anyone know that answer??? I look like a walking brown spot, the brown spots cover my entire body along with the lesions. This really bothers me I will not wear shorts out in public because of the skin problem on my legs. Honestly I feel more research needs to be done before they release medications. Because now I will have saqmous cell cancer removed from my body for the rest of my life.

I just started on this medication. I am having sweats very bad. I already had pain in my joints. I have seen no help in that area.

After 3 weeks I was put in hospital with 104.6 fever. I had recently visited Mayo Clinic and they told me sometimes this happens. Called either medicine or medical fever. Had no biological infections. Took several days of iv's and medication to get me out.
