Rheumatoid Arthritis
"The first two-three weeks were fine.   Then I started experiencing a bad headache, the next two days fever and chills.    The next evening, severe chills, weakness, dizziness, raging fever (up to 104.3) and began throwing up.    It was the worst I&#039;ve ever felt in my life (and that includes a hospitalization in ICU when first diagnosed).    I was on the verge of calling 911.   However, it eventually passed (as the medicine worked its way out of my system) and the fever subsided.   My Rheumatologist ran a complete series of blood work and she said that I had an allergic reaction.   Prior to starting Imuran, I had been tested for liver compatibility and the results showed that I would have no issues so I proceeded.  Proceed w/extreme caution."
