Yes I do take 10 mg in a morning and 5 mg at night. I have always done well on Xeljanz at 10 and 10mg but never found it quite enough when I went to 5 and 5. So had a discussion with my guy about...
I was on FMT at our Macmaster teaching hospital back in 2016 and for me it did nothing for UC however at that time I had 4 bouts of C -Diff and FMT is fantastic for that. Not a trace of it since....
Ive been on Xeljanz since March 2019 and have never looked back. I don't go looking for bathrooms as I don't have urgencies as was once the case. My second shot of Pfizer did upset me slightly but...
Nice thing about being Canadian my Xeljanz is free....
As a fairly long time Xeljanz user I used to suffer from Tinnitus not because of Xeljanz as I had it prior. However I am an older person and I started to use hearing aids and this actually stopped...
I have been on Xeljanz since March of 2019 and I guess I am one of those success stories. I started on 10 Mg and weaned myself down to 5 mg twice daily. Its like I've almost forgotten what UC is and...
Im a Xeljanz user and no problem with flaring on either of my two doses of Pfizer....
I am 80 years of age and have been on Xeljanz for 2.5 years and have a good head of hair so doubt your hair loss is being caused by Xeljanz. On another note here in Canada hair dressers have been...
I have been on Xeljanz since two years last March and it has been a game changer for me. It started to work a couple of days into starting and has been good ever since. I might comment that I do live...

Sounds like your husband is doing well but can I offer an alternative as to dosage, I also tried to go down in dosage but was not held as well so I tried a different approach instead of using 10mg...

Got Pfizer vaccine a couple of days ago no problems at all, not even a sore arm. Some one mentioned being worried about having to give up their meds for some reason I am on Xeljanz and a couple of...
Xeljanz started working for me within two days and that was two years ago. I even went off it for 3 weeks when I had a knee replacement and stayed controlled for the first two weeks....
Interesting, from what I've read Xeljanz isn't typically given for IBD. Why did they go with that over Humira, Remicade, etc?[/quote] Sorry my mistake I had been on humira prior to entyvio....
Entivio worked fine for me for just over a year and then it lost its effect. Since then I changed over to Xeljanz some 2 years ago and it started working for me after a couple of days. Its been my...
Well I guess someone must be a fellow Canadian to follow the leafs. Certainly don't be afraid of biologics, they have been the best thing since sliced bread for me. Having said that I have had UC...

As an 80 year old male here in Canada I will certainly get the vaccine. As we don't manufacture vaccines here we will certainly be slightly behind the States before it will be available here. So we...

I take 10 mg Xeljanz in a morning and 5 mg in the evening which works for me, as I found that 5 mg each time did not quite hold me. I have been on Xeljanz for 16 months now....
I have been on Xeljanz for over a year now and have gained 20 ibs which I put down to not having UC issues now, so my body is getting more goodness from what I eat. My diet has remained the same for...
I am a great believer of Fmt for C-diff, the success rate is about 80 % cure rate. I had 4 bouts of C-Diff and Vanco never really cured the problem so I was put into an FMT program at our Mc Master...
