I exercise six days a week, get 10k steps a day, and run on my "rest" days whilst eating very healthy. That's the frustrating part. Will most likely have to go on Statins. It's always something. Just...
Hey all, Just had a question for those of you on Rinvoq. I'm quite frustrated. It's working very well, but it has increased my cholesterol from 165 to 233 and my LDL from 99 to 155. Thos are not good...
My cholesterol was fine on the Rinvoq, but now it jumped up by 50 points to 230 and LDL to 150ish. In two weeks! That was after I lowered the dose as well. It's so frustrating. I really hate this...
Hey guys, Just wanted to vent. Feeling a bit hopeless. Been on every Crohn’s medication. Did Remicade in 2003. Worked amazingly then lost response to it. Gave humira a try, didn’t work. Stelara...
Warts? What are the warts you have to look for?...
You should try phytosterol supplements if you want to go the natural route. It lowered my cholesterol from 211 to 166. Take it twice a day with a meal....
Any of you here on Rinvoq? If so, did you notice a change when lowering doses? I was doing awesome on the 45mg. It was elevated my liver enzymes so we lowered the dose when I had 8 doses left of the...
When I wrote this post, my bilirubin was was 1.9, AST was 97 and ALT was 60. I just had another LFT two weeks after those numbers. Bilirubin went down to 0.8, but AST went to 114 and ALT went to 85....
Hey all, Anyone here on Rinvoq experience elevated liver enzymes during the loading phase? My liver numbers jumped up recently and I’m worried that I’ll have to stop Rinvoq. It’s working well so far....
Stelara or Skyrizi are options as well. I have Crohn’s that affects my colon so similar to colitis. Originally diagnosed with colitis. Stelara was incredible for me until I got Covid. After that it...
Stelara definitely worked quicker for me. I’m not a doctor, but I’d imagine you’d have some improvements seven months in. Have you tried Skyrizi? It’s similar to Stelara but works earlier in the...
I was originally diagnosed with UC in when I was 13 years old back in 2003. It was changed to Crohn’s disease when I developed fistulas, so I officially have Crohn’s disease. Thanks for your...
Hey guys! Anyone here have experience with Rinvoq yet? I know it’s newly approved for Crohn’s. I’m nervous about the cardiac side effects. I’m sure they’re fairly rare but wanted to see if anyone has...
Hey guys, I have UC and I wasn't sure where to ask this. I figured this would be good as many of you have been on prednisone. I was prescribed prednisone for a week at 60 mg for some sudden hearing...
Thanks for the reply! It’s causing my anxiety as it has exceeded 100 a few times. If it doesn’t get better tomorrow I may go to the ER....
Hey guys, I started 60 MG of prednisone for another condition. My usual resting heart rate is about 63-65 but since taking it it’s been around 95-100. Anyone else experience this on it? Thanks....
Stelara was a game changer for me. I’ve had Crohn’s since 2003 when I was 13. Remicade worked like a dream for a while but then I developed antibodies. Then basically went in and out of flares until...
Hey All! So, I just wanted to let you some of you on stelara know of this option. Stelara worked so incredibly well for me. That is until I got the Covid vaccine (no regrets and would do it again....
I’m just looking for something that won’t bother me. Most protein powders devastate me. I don’t know why. It’s frustrating because I’m trying to get about 200 grams of protein a day but it’s tough....
Hey guys, I have been trying so many protein powders. Haven’t tried whey for obvious reasons. Tried vegan protein and the fiber bothers me. Tried egg protein and I was devastated and in the bathroom...
Thanks so much guys!...
Thanks FlowersGal but I’m looking for something premade. I travel a lot for work so I’d like to carry a powder or premade shake with me....
Hey all! Haven’t been active in a decade here. Had to make a new username even! Hope you’re all staying healthy and happy 😊 Do you guys have any recommendations for protein shakes and meal...
Hey guys, Thanks for your replies. Wasn’t sure if anyone would reply! The forum has definitely slowed down from on I was on it regularly ten years ago. I did end up having a blood test to see the...
Hello All! Haven't posted regularly the last decade. I had to make a new login last summer since I couldn't remember my old login info. It's been a long time. I truly wish that all of you are happy...
Oh no! I’m so sorry. How do I go about getting in contact with him and asking?...
