Hi there!
I'm currently on Humira and still at the start of it (five weeks in - have had loading doses 160mg, 80mg, and had one 40mg dose so far). There has been absolutely no change and even some worsening of symptoms. I know I have a while longer to wait to see if it is effective, but I'd like to weigh up my options in case I need to change treatment after 12 weeks.
My IBD nurse says they would probably try Remicade or Entyvio next if necessary, and I wondered which would be the logical one to try. To me it would make sense to choose the one which is more different from Humira, but I don't know if that is the right approach.
Any advice would be great.
