Is anyone on this forum on Skyrizi? I searched this forum but didn’t see anything (although maybe I missed it). I have UC and am having a hard time getting Entyvio to work for me. Infusions were just increased to every 4 weeks. I will have my first 4 week infusion next week. I’ve been on Entyvio for a year and have gone from 8 weeks, to 6 weeks, and now to 4 week infusions.
Prior to Entyvio, I was in solid remission on Humira, but had to stop Humira due to side effects. I had a quick phone consult with my GI last week and he mentioned that we’ll see how things go over the next few weeks but a next step could be trying a different medication, possibly Skyrizi. He did say that med would be hard to get approved, b/c it’s not FDA approved for UC.
I am also trying the IBD-AID diet. My hope is that modifying diet will be enough to give the Enytvio a boost. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's been a rough cycle. Thank you in advance in advance for any feedback!
