Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives Alternatives and ALCHEMISTS Azithioprene for Ankylosing spondylitis

Greetings All it's L33 from other posts, can't reset my password so created a new account to post this....

I am taking Azithioprene and it works like a miracle.

After I researched using Chatgpt AI, it recommend it for Reumatoid, Lupus etc so I asked my GP to prescribe it as we have a good relationship.

I take 50mg morning and 50mg night but monitoring of liver function, FBC should be done after a month and onwards.

It's a medication that suppresses the immune system and is relatively cheap compared to biologics.

My pain went from 9/10 to 0/10 now. It seems my immune system has switched off from attack mode to AS.

All I can say is that Reumatologists are useless......I whish mine prescribed this 20 years ago.

Now I just pulse the Azithioprene on and off. I have never felt better....

The dosage is calculated based on your weight ( kg).

Hi Guys Apologies for the wrong spelling of Azathioprine.

You would think posting an important helpful drug like this, one would put the correct spelling, but I was so excited about it's efficency I totally forgot to check the spelling of it.

If you AI search it with the wrong name on chatGPT or wattsapp AI it would self correct you and give you the correct info anyway.

Azathioprine has been a life changer for me really. I need to do a CRP and ESR test to see how low they are currently.
I want to see if it nears normal, something I haven't had for more than 10 years now. I still have my records from tests I did years ago privately. These 2 tests show highly elevated when I'm in lots of pain. Now almost pain free you can say.

I'm off Azathioprine for 2 months now, only took it for one month total and still I feel my immune system has backed off from attack ( fingers crossed), but now I feel I have something tangible to directly help my AS( without taking expensive biological meds) something I can afford being unemployed.

I am very angry why my Reumatologists team never ever mention this medication and so much of damage has occurred to my spine as a result and this medication is not new at all. I guess they are programed robots by the medical system that just spit out profitable medication to them.

Yes it is a medication used in kidney transplant and Lupus and not essentially used for Ankylosing spondylitis, I see all auto immune conditions as related they just name the condition differently according to the tissues/ organs involved. Lucky I'm an Engineer and technician and look at the problem in a practical manner. Immune system hurt me = Kill immune system.
