Advice & Tips: Dermatologist say I have to give Imurel a chance, because "she have no other suggestions". I vomited daily back in 2017, but she say that things could have been different then and I have to give it a chance. But I vomited and I was sick all day yesterday, and I am not going to do this any day longer. Imurel may work well for others, but not for me.

Advice & Tips: Taking two or three pills for life off of dialysis is a no-brainer. I developed lymphoma as a result of the azathioprine, but the chances of getting this are greater for the newer medications.
