Rinvoq feels like it’s working

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while and I thought I’d check in to see how everyone is doing and update on my situation. I’ve been on Rinvoq since April and, after having failed Tremfya and Entyvio and mesalamine only partially working, I’m closer to remission than I’ve ever been. Haven’t bled at all and urgency is gone. Tenesmus pops up for less than one day per week and it isn’t painful, just confusing. I have far less gas too and when I do, it’s “trustworthy.”

It took me ~ two weeks to adjust to the med and since then, the only side effect has been mild acne.

Flex sig is coming up and I’m hoping that I’ll have my first clean scope. Curious to hear what y’all’s UC status is.

Hi G I’ve been in total remission for over two years now. My last colonoscopy and labs were a few months ago and results were…NORMAL!!! It has been SO good, having a normal life, eating what and when I wished and able to go anywhere without worrying about being more than 10 feet from a potti. Best of luck to you!! I too, gained a bit of acne from the beginning. I can deal with that. I have also had skin cancers, but had some before Rinvoq. I have stayed on 30 mg. after the loading dose of 40 and all is well.
