Thank you for responding! It is a scary change since I have been on Azathiaprine since about 2005 I believe. I hope I have a better response like you have. Hugs back!

I have been on Skyrizi every 8 weeks since December 2022. Also taking Azathiaprine 200mg for years. Just received a message about stopping the Azathiaprine from my PA. She says that there is no indication for dual therapy with the Skyrizi. Has anyone heard this and are only on the Skyrizi?

I am turning 70 next month and have been dealing with Crohn's disease since I was 23 years old. A few years ago I started on Humira and it helped to turn my life around. Unfortunately it only lasted about 5 years for me. I was then put on Entivio which also worked well for me. That also only...

I am scheduled to have my first Skyrizi infusion on the 29th. A am a bit worried about this one. I am fighting a cold right now and hope to be over it by the 29th. I have been on Humira twice and Entyvio with no problems other than being tired. Any helpful information from anyone that has...

I am switching from Humira to Skyrizi soon. Paperwork is in process now. Have you started the Skyrizi yet? I was wondering if you have had any trouble or good results yet.

I am on Humira again but I have built up antibodies to it so will be switching to Skyrizi. Is there anyone on it yet? Doctor is in the process of getting it approved thru my insurance.

Thank you! I hope it works also.

I was on Entyvio for about 7 years then it quit working. Tried to go on to Stelara. Took about 4 months to find out that to get it for free since I am on medicare I have to meet a requirement of having paid 4% for the last year in out of pocket expenses which I didn't. I saw nothing that told...

Well its been a long haul to get approval through Johnson & Johnson for Stelara. I started in August and just got the approval a couple of weeks ago. Now my problem is they are saying I have to have spent about $2200.00 in my out of pocket costs for prescriptions to get it. I am no where...

I am on Medicare and also have United Health care plan. My plan covers Stelara but copay is $3,326. I applied for help thru Johnson and Johnson but have not heard back yet. What I do know is that J&J financial help only helps with the injections but not the loading dose by IV infusion. Is...

Thank you! Glad to hear that this is working for you. At my worst time of Crohns my Doctor started me on Humira and it was a life saver until it quit working. Then I switched to Entyvio and it also worked for years until it stopped. Hoping that Stelara will work for me also!

Thank you, I will check what dose is for my weight.

I will be starting Stelara soon as Enytvio no longer is working for me. What was the amount of the med that is given in the first dose through infusion and what is the dose for the syringe. I will be on it every 8 weeks.

Lisa I do believe it was just a coincidence now. I finally started feeling better by Sunday morning so I believe it was a partial blockage. I did call my doctor on Friday afternoon to let her know what was going on. Now on Monday morning I am just a little sore in the stomach muscles from the...

I have been on Entyvio for 4 years now and have never had a reaction to it nor do I take anything before the infusion. Yesterday I had my infusion at noon and by 4 pm I was having cramping and pain and felt like I would like to throw up but didn't. I know I have a narrowing area where they...

Johnny84 I have been on Entyvio for 3 years now and it has really helped me. Thankfully the only side effect for me is being tired day of infusion and day after. I am also on Imuran 400 mg a day. I have been on their co-pay assist program. December 1st I will be on Medicare plus a...

My hair loss is noticeable. I have fine hair and never was thick so it is of concern for sure as others have asked me about it.

I have been on Imuran for years at 150mg. About a year ago my doctor put me up to 200mg. I have been experiencing hair loss since the increase. Has anyone else have this happen and what if anything was done about it? My doctor said that I need to stay at this level. I do have an appointment...

Thank you for this information. I feel more relieved about my upcoming changes in health insurance.
