Liver Damage- 6MP

I recently was hospitalized for my Chron's disease. I found out that the 6MP has caused some liver damage.  I have not been back to the GI yet and it has been a month.  I do go back to my PCP this week.  I have many questions about the liver damage and why I am still only on a steroid for the Chrons. Has anyone else had this situation or something similar?

Healing is all well and good hun but Crohn's is NOT curable! It's manageable , yes. Your comment is giving a false impression. If you choose natural medicine then you have to stick with it, if it works, to keep Crohn's at bay. So either way you go you can live a normal life with this illness but it stays with you the rest of your life. Sorry to bust your bubble as I have Crohn's and am also in remission with a good combo of medications. I did take 6-mp but chose to stop it when my liver function wasn't right and I lost a child due to the medication. Now I'm doing well but I can tell you that it's quite possible to end up having problems again. Don't tell people that it is curabe. You apparently need to research it better!

I have been on 6MP for about 23 years and have had blood tests about every 3 to4 months to watch for liver damage. Is that what they do with you?
