Stelara

I've been on it almost 2 years. I did alright with entyvio, but have had fewer side effects on Stelara. I have some issues frequent sinusitis and a few other odd ball things. I hope you do well!

My Daughter has been on Stelara for over a year now. She seems to tolerate it much better, and it does seem to be working, but not to the degree of Remicade. She's still contemplating staying with it, and waiting for more input from her GI. Stelara does seem to be much more effective than Entyvio, but as with many of the meds, the results are subjective. Good luck, hope it works well for you.

TAA,

Good to see you..... But sad it's because your having to change meds.

Sorry the Entyvio isn't working. I hope this works better for you and you get into remission soon.

Hi Clo,
Thankyou, I wanted entyvio to work. We gave it a good go. It’s been well over a year. It got me off prednisone so at least there’s that. My Dr isn’t sure yet, he’s waiting on the results of the scope but I know, you know your body and I know I’m not in a good place. Lots of abdominal pain. Constipated this time but still very painful and constant bathroom trips. It’s been a very long flare. I will be so appreciative of normal if I ever feel that again.

TAA,

I'll be crossing my fingers and toes... Hoping for your success and remission.

Please let me know how you do. (Everyone that's tried it in my support group has found success with it so far.... So it sounds positive!)

Thanks Clo. I pray remission isn’t far for me. I’m exhausted by the last two years

I hope your switch was easy enough and it’s working for you! It’s a hard thing to have to change meds, I am deciding today between Stelara and Skyrizi and it’s hard to know what to do.
