I was given Azathioprine after a period of time on 20mg of prednisone and 60mg/day of mestinon. My dosing increased every two weeks and after 5or 6 weeks I went to the ER with a fever of 105.9.  I was in for three days and had every culture, blood tests, scans and tests available.  They found no infection and determined it was the Azathioprine.  I have been on 2000mg of Cellcept since then. I am late onset as well (age 65 three years ago)
