Glad you are doing much better today! Apparently, in their experience they found that steroid-refractory UC didn't respond that well to Remicade which is why they started me off with the Humira when...
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear it is working well for you. I'm hoping that it will work for me. So far, I'm not seeing any significant improvement, but I've only had 1 dose and I know I have to be...
Thank you for your response. I did notify them. They told me to call if I wasn't any better within 24 hours. Fortunately, I did improve. I hadn't tried Remicade prior to the Humira. My GI doctor...
I had my first Entyvio infusion last week. I felt a little tired afterwards, but I'm in the middle of a really bad flare so tiredness is pretty normal. The following day I was feeling very foggy and...
Glad to hear your flare symptoms are gone with the Entyvio. I agree it is definitely an endurance test. I'm trying to stay off of pred if at all possible due to the horrific side effects. What type...

My response to the thread was to explain the different medications that I have failed and that my GI is willing to try additional medications and that I'm not quite ready for surgery yet. That's why...
That's a shame, but I'm sure he's probably going to be feeling much better with the J-Pouch. Thank you for the response....
How is the Entyvio working for you? I'm hoping to start it soon. The Humira is no longer working for me even after adding azathioprine. Diagnosed May 2014- pancolitis hospitalized May 2014, September...
I'm in my third flare in the last year, hospitalized twice. I met with the surgeon based on my GI's advice to have that as an option if the biologics don't work. I'm not quite ready for surgery just...
I just got over a bout of CDiff. I was started on Flagyl and became so ill I was hospitalized. They started me on Vancomycin. It took a couple of days for the diarrhea frequency to slow down after...
