New here.
So I recently started Xeljanx after failing Entyvio (I gave it 8 months - going every 4 weeks) and it seems to started working as soon as I took in 10mg pill. In the past, I have tried Humira and that has worked well for 2+ years but it stopped working. Ever since then, I have tried bunch of drugs for past year and none have worked. I have been on and off tapering down Prednisone for just over a year now and it looks like I maybe able to do it now for good. I tapered down from 40mg to 5mg since I had been on Entyvio but symptoms came back at 5mg so I went back up to 10mg - which has me going for 5-6 times with urgency but no blood. At 5, I did be going with blood and 6-10 times so Entyvio’s been a big failure. I actually had my last infusion this week and didn’t see improvement afterwards. However, since I got Xeljanx shortly after infusion, I had have not went once after. Although I’m still on 10mg Prednisone but that wasn’t working quite as well so could it be Xeljanx?
