DS just turned 16. He was diagnosed a little over 6 years ago. Started with Remicade and achieved remission, but then he developed allergic reaction to it. Was able to go without meds for about 6 months before symptoms came back. Started Humira about 7 months ago. Never got the calprotectin levels all the way down (that has been the most accurate test for him). Now having noticeable symptoms (lack of appetite, some pain). Humira blood tests show no antibodies, but very low serum levels, so now he will go to weekly injections.
Has anyone had success with this? It just seems like whenever we try something new it takes soooo long before there is either an improvement or decision to try something different.
While waiting for improvement, I'm hoping Boost high calories will help with him not losing weight.
