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...
Sorry to hear that Xeljanz is starting to fail for you, just interested in hearing how long you have been on it. For myself I will have been on it for 2 years at the beginning of March. Touch wood I...
Ive been on Humira , Entivio and each only had a certain working lifespan with myself. I started on Xeljanx on March 27 2019 and it worked for me after just 2 days and it has been working good every...

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 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...
I was on 20 mg when I first started just over a year ago and it worked great for me but when I went down to 10 mg it was not enough so I compromised and take 10 mg in a morning and 5 mg at night...

Don't be afraid of FMT I was on it at my research hospital after 4 bouts of C_diff. It was a life saver for me and have been clear for the past 2 years. I recently was in Hospital for a Knee...
I was on FMT for about 18 months and I agree that as in my case my Xeljanz has been been my saviour. What I would say about FMT it is fantastic at curing C-Diff which I had 4 bouts of. I have been...
One has to remember that these supposedly Canadian pharmacies are there to supply drugs to other countries like the USA . They do not supply to we Canadians so don't have to meet the standards...

I like your husband tried to go down to 5 mg and found the effectiveness was reduced so went back up to 10 mg twice per day.. I have found it an excellent drug at this level almost like not having UC...
I ve been on Xeljanz since early March and its been a saviour for me. I get a little joint pain but can't say I can pin it down to that as I am 78 years of age. Ive been off it for 7 days now because...

Not sure on that I think that is up to my surgeon...
Well today I have given up my Xeljanz for 7 plus days before my surgery on my knee replacement next week. So its with some trepidation that I look forward as this biologic has made such a difference...
I was on FMT trial at one of our hospitals here in Canada and I could not say it did a great deal for UC but was fantastic at curing me of C-Diff that I had 4 times....
As a Canadian the the online pharmacies that exist in Canada do not supply drugs to our health care system that we Canadians use. They exist here to supply places like the US market as an alternative...

Xeljanx worked for me in 3 days, I was not on any other drug at the time other than coming off Entyvio that was no longer effective for me....

Interesting if anyone on the forum has had a knee replacement while taking a biologic. I had one done in 2015 but I was not taking a biologic then. My present biologic is Xeljanz which works great...
