I've been on 6-MP for about a year now, and yeah, the fatigue is real. I've found that regular exercise helps me feel less tired overall. But I'm always on the lookout for any signs of infection, as my immune system is really compromised.
I had to stop taking 6-MP because of severe stomach issues. It was just too much for me. My doctor switched me to a different medication, and I'm doing much better now.
I'm on 6-MP and I'm always afraid of the rare but serious side effects. I just wish there was more information out there about how to prevent or manage them.
My doctor warned me about the risk of infections and bleeding. I'm always checking for any signs of trouble. It's definitely a medication you have to take seriously. Stay safe, everyone!
I've been lucky so far. Just a bit of nausea, but nothing too bad. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Has anyone else experienced any rare side effects?
I've heard that some people get really bad diarrhea from 6-MP. If anyone has any tips for dealing with that, I'd love to hear them.
I know someone who was on 6-MP and developed liver problems. It was really scary. I think it's important for everyone on this medication to be super careful and monitor their health closely.
I was on 6-MP for a while and it was a nightmare. I experienced horrible side effects like stomach pain, and on top of that, I developed anemia. I had to come off it and switch to a different treatment plan.
