NikiB - again it's one of those things. Everyone's Crohn's/IBD/UC is unique to them, and some tolerate a particular drug or combination better than others. I've been on 6-MP for approx 7 months now (75mg daily), with fairly minimal side-effects. I just get very tired at times - oh, I got very sunburnt at one point! You should definitely remember to either stay out of the sun, or wear a high SPF suncream. I have a little network offs Crohnies here in Sussex and some of them have been on 6-MP very successfully for years. Hope it works out for you!
