Back after no success with Remicade

I haven't posted on here in quite some time. I was on here off and on over a year ago, but things got busy. In the past year I've still been struggling with my current flare, and nothing seems to be helping.   I've tried most of the go to methods out there:   6mp - gave me pancreatits remicade (for over a year) - no significant help suppositories & enemas - nothing Entocort (4 months) - Again no real change   I'm not house bound, as the flare is somewhat manageable, but it still is effecting me, and I've been dealing with the same symptoms for about two years now (diarrhea, blood, cramping, nausea, etc). I have a new GI (old one moved away), and he is convinced that I have chrons, my last colonoscopy showed signs of both UC and Chrons.   I seen him yesterday, and he wants to tra nsition me to this new med Entyvio. I don’t know much about it, but it seems promising. I see a lot of you are pretty excited about it. I am a little unsure since it is new, but at this point it can’t hurt to try it since nothing else works.   I have to get another scope done before, It’s been nearly two years, and my new GI wants to see if anything has changed. So I am set up for that on July 11 th , and in the meantime he put me on a prednisone taper, and   I await the insurance to clear me for the new med.   So has anyone here taken this new drug, and what are your thoughts?

Lol, well I am sure they work for a lot of people. Hell I've read that remicade was a godsend for tons of people, or a simple diet change, or 6mp, but I am just the lucky one where my body just sticks it's middle finger up to all of those :)

I feel your pain and my D is in the same boat. Today is the big day though, unless something gets messed up. Full year of blood and med flare since Remi stopped.
Round one, Entyvio. This afternoon. It is already on the drug formulary at BC/BS., but docs still have a form to fill out.
One thing that worked for awhile that you haven't tried is Tacrolimius. Might be worth a mention to your GI.

What is your dosage and frequency of the Remicade? I needed double doses every 6 weeks for Remicade to work for me. Remicade worked for over 4 years for me after I got to the correct dosage for my body.
