Is Entyvio working? What do the lab results mean?

CRP is 7 (normal <8).
Calprotectin is still high at 126; but last year it was 1200 in April and over 2000 in September.
I have been on Entyvio since mid December, 2019.

I have read here that calprotectin numbers don't mean much but I am much better and feel that the lab result is following symptoms closely. My GI is concerned about frequency of three to five times a day but I am happy with no blood and and no need to go on and off Prednisone constantly. yay.

I don't really want to change anything at this time. What choice do I have? But is it possible that after 7 months of infusions I could see further improvement? I am still using Balsalizide daily and mesalamine enemas a couple of times a week.

Calprotectin numbers mean a lot in my case. They are the most accurate indicator that I have active inflammation. I plotted a graph over time, they went from 1600 during my flare to 11 as I went into remission.
That being said, I was convinced I wasn't in remission because I was (am) still having up to 4 BMs per day, but when I had a scope I scored MAYO 0 i.e. there was no inflammation

Entyvio took a long time to work for me. I was on high dose steroids in the meantime. I started it Jan 2018, and ared badly in June of that year. Gi tested my levels, and I had developed antibodies. I moved to every 4 weeks as a result. I have never achieved remission, but then again, I am allergic to mesalamines, so am not taking those in conjuction like you are.

Tiredofallthispoop,

How long after going off Entyvio did it take for the muscle aches to resolve? The last 4 infusions I have had, I developed a sore throat a few hours after the infusion, with the last one going away after a bout of coughing. Now I am miserable with body aches that are mostly muscular. I am flaring up, too. Supposed to Telemed with my GI this week, and I strongly suspect we move medication.
