not really pneumonia. I got a bad cold, and then in a couple of days cough got productive and the phlegm got yellow or green.....then I got antibiotics and then it cleared right away and after the course of antibiotics 2 or 3 weeks later the same thing happened again and again. But I never...

well those are great news....thanks a lot for sharing!!!

Well that would be great if they do.!!!

Well I just found out that Omvoh (mirikizumab) was approved for UC but not for Crohns. It seems that every other biologic that works for UC also works for Crohns, so I am wondering why they did not approved for Crohns.... the more options the better (well at least for the patients) since the...

Lets find out how low the price would be… here in the States patients pay huge amounts of $ to the drug companies because “they need that because research for new drugs is very expensive”…….so that people in the rest of the WHOLE world can get them for a fraction of their cost in the USA…..what...

I was reading the second and third message in this thread and it seems that 4.5 is a good Stelara level

Was the Stelara blood level test before the injection or after the injection?

They will deliver the pen tomorrow, Actually they approved it every 4 weeks for a year…..26 k per injection…..12 injections around 300.000. It should not bother me I know but something is not right….

They did not checked it

Hmmm……what a shame that you need to keep taking those other meds…. Between Prednisone vs Budesonide…..for me the Prednisone is a magical drug….it only takes a pill or two to get rid of my symptoms although my GI says it doesn’t work that way, for me it does. But it has a lot of bad side...

Hey hopefully if you need it your insurance will cover it.!!! My insurance refused to cover it every 4 weeks. I still don't know how this will end. I could try to change to another insurance company. I wonder if there is a way of knowing if an insurance company will cover it every 4 weeks. Is...

Well the good thing is that I did not have antibodies to Stelara.!!! The blood for the test was taken 4 weeks after the injection and the concentration was 3.9. The Dr. thought that it was in the lower side since it was more than 4 weeks to the next dose. So he wants me to try it every 4 weeks...

Actually I started Stelara around 6 months ago, still not a year. Actually if I follow a strict diet and If I dont eat much I won’t have loose stools episodes….but when that begins, that’s it…..prednisone and no eating for a day or two.

Well 4 weeks after the injection the level was 3.9……🙁🙁….the Dr ordered the test since my Calprotectin level went from the 200’s before Stelara to mid 300’s now…. The good thing is that I don’t have antibodies to it. Probably I am not a super responder….but I wish this thing will work…..Remicade...

I am getting Stelara every 8 weeks. The dosage is 90 mg. I have the feeling that after the injection my symptoms get better, but after maybe 5 weeks my symptoms tend to reappear. I also noticed that it may take more time for it to work. Can they measure the Stelara levels the same ways they...
