First scope after starting Stelara

[my little penguin]

So Ds started Stelara six months ago
Scope was last week entire upper/lower looked pristine
Biopsies only showed minimally active chronic illeitis which the GI GI said shows the mucosal is in the process of healing itself
He would expect this on any Crohns patient after starting remicade etc...
So for DS Stelara is working for his GI tract

His joints are another story so still trying to get the dose increased to every 4 weeks
So far no luck due to insurance

Great to hear that Stelara is working so well for his Crohn's, but sorry that it's not helping enough with the arthritis. Hope that you can get approval for every 4 weeks soon.

Great news! I hope things start to fall into place on the joint pain. Wish I could offer more like you do for everyone else.
