Hello everyone,
I've been on this forum since DEC 2015 the date of my UC diagnosis and here is my first post.
Currently flaring and on Remicade for about 4 months. Remi worked for me for 7 weeks and when I went to 8 weeks intervals, it stopped. My doctor switch me to 6 weeks intervals and I just had an infusion 3 weeks ago but don't see any results yet so I'm back on pred 30mg. I'm also taking lialda, 2-4 pills a day, Imuran 100mg, vitamin B12, D, probiotics. Quit alcohol, processed sugar. Tried Paleo, grain free for 5 months without any positive results.
Also had a abscess surgery two weeks ago, so it has been a fun year so far.
My next step is to go to Northwestern hospital GI doctor for second opinion before starting another biologic which probably will be Humira as I already failed Entivio after trying that for about 4.5 months.
So, did anyone switched to Humira from Remicade and had any success?
Thanks in advance,
Jack
