Entyvio was my first biologic. I have not had a problem with respiratory infections or frequent colds since I've been on it. Something else I like about it is the short infusion time -- only 30...
I have been on Entyvio for 2 years now. I am in complete remission (recently confirmed by colonoscopy 2 weeks ago with a 0 on the Mayo scale). I have absolutely no side effects. My blood is monitored...
I’m 2 years on Entyvio and living as if I don’t have UC! I also noticed subtle changes early on. Others will mention that Entyvio is slow acting and it is but along that slow journey are many small...
Oh the fun of an IBD disease huh!!!! 🤪😱🤡 Nana — Entyvio is a very quick infusion as the others have said. 30 minutes and it’s done so not as much wear and tear on veins , imho. I have really small...
Just as a talking point or for those this might apply to: I'm on Medicare and had no issue at all with getting Entyvio as my first biologic. Medicare doesn't require prior approval. (which led me to...
My Dr mentioned years ago that benefiber can cause had and I found it to be true for me. I use Metamucil instead. Just a thought that it could be the cause of your gas....
I am so sorry! From the outside looking in it feels like -- well how much is one person supposed to have to deal with? Hasnt it been enough already? And I bet there are moments where you feel the...
Just note to say I've been in remission for a year and a half now. Started Entyvio almost 2 years ago and will have my 15th infusion next week. No issues at all. So happy! May your results be as...
Congrats Keith! Great news! Also thanks for continuing here and contributing your hard-won knowledge to help others....
I went from Apriso straight to Entyvio and was in symptomatic remission about 4-5 months later. That was after a year on Apriso which needed steroids to control symptoms. Since I was considered...
I agree with giving Entyvio a longer response time. I think it took me 5 infusions to get to pretty clear symptomatic remission. A colonoscopy around that time still showed microscopic colitis...
If I were you, with the holidays upcoming, I would not continue the taper until after your next infusion. I know the pred is hard, but so is not feeling comfortable during the holidays....
I took mine last year, but I can't remember now if I checked it or had it in my carry-on. I *think* I did the carry on. I didn't take the whole box either, but no one questioned it. I think the size...
I've been on Entyvio for almost 2 years! I was pretty much in symptom-free remission by about month 4 or 5, although a scope at 6 months showed microscopic inflammation still. But now I'm doing...
OMG. I can't imagine -- don't even want to -- having one of my kids be so ill, especially when they're so young. I wish you all the best and even more to him! Stress was definitely a factor in my uc...
