Hello all - I will provide a little background but wondering about some blood work abnormalities I've just experienced and if they can be tied to Crohn's or Entyvio. I've been on Entyvio for about almost 2 years now and it seems to be working. Finally got active inflammation down enough in year...

I had a few good years on remicade before it stopped working and then failed on Stelara before GI put me onto Entyvio. About one year on it and I started to notice improvement after about 6 months. Recent colonoscopy showed 91% improvement - inflammation almost completely cleared up and feeling...

My GI has recently recommended surgery for me because I have two strictures that begin about 4cm above the terminal ileum. The passage there is now so small he cannot get a pediatric scope through. Since my crohns is confined to that area and we now (finally) have it in remission with Entyvio he...

Thanks, I found that true for the Remicade that towards the end of cycle I felt a little worse. However, this one had me wondering because felt good at earlier and then first days after next dose I had pain, and diarrhea start out of nowhere. Is it possible that I am having some reaction to the...

This is a general sort of question but since I started Stelara about 4 months ago thought I would ask here. I was on Remicade for about 4 years after going through a few years and little effectiveness from Budesonide. Even when the Dr would do colonoscopy and say there was little or no...

Recently switched from Remicade to Stelara because the Remicade was not working. I did the initial infusion and then first injection with a nurse instructing went great. Today did my first solo self injection and seemed fine but when I pulled out the needle I saw there was a drop of the...

Thank you everyone for taking time to relate your experiences. I just received the blood results and while I don't have antibodies I do have more than enough in my system to be working. Since it isn't Dr thinks it just is no longer effective for me. I don't quite understand how it works well...

Any other men out there taking Remicade that have been exposed to the high risk HPV? My girlfriend recently found out she has the virus during annual visit to her GYN. I have read some bad stories about he low risk types giving people with Crohn's on anti-TNF having a hard time shedding them. I...

Crohn's in terminal illegal, diagnosed in 2011 and been through Pentasa and one other 5-ASA, Entocort, Imuran (allergic reaction) with no success in achieving remission. GI just put me on Remicade and actual infusion went OK except for some fatigue for a few hours after. But, about 10 days later...

Thanks for the information and advice. I do have to temporarily stop this drug because after missing just one dose the difference is incredible. This is the first day in two weeks I have been able to finish a day of work without being too tired, feverish and in pain. Since I can't see my GI...

Thank you for all the replies. So are my reactions what you would call the hypersensitivity? The throat and chest pain feel like a very mild anaphylaxis type of reaction. Never feel like I am in danger but it is so uncomfortable and painful I can't function for a few hours. Do you think it is...

After Pentasa wasn't doing it for me Dr. started me on Imuran about one month ago. I was one week at 50 mg and increased to 100 mg. They said my blood work looked good after first two weeks. I had some minor fatigue and digestive issues and some joint pain but it was manageable and went away for...
