Hello. I'm 47 year old male and after years of battling with all kinds of symptoms- finally the diagnosis is set!
Just the other day, my doctor diagnosed me with some auto-immune condition called rheumatoid arthritis!
I really don’t know anything about this condition beside the fact that it is type of disease where the body fights against its own cells and that it is basically incurable. That’s why- I'm interested to find out why should drink this Imuran he prescribed me. What is the purpose?
What should I know about this Imuran!?

I'm very sorry to hear that you’ve been diagnosed with this terrible auto-immune disease.
You know all there is to know about it and that’s why I will not tell you anything about the mechanism of disease.
Although, it is basically incurable, your life, if you're using this Imuran, could be very close to normal. Imuran belongs to the class of medications called immunosuppressant.
So, you understand that it works by lowering the body's immune system and prevent attacking the joints. These medications has many side effects but I would point out that they can cause a decrease in the number of blood cells in your bone marrow.
