Starting Skyrizi soon!

Had my second colonoscopy and they saw active inflammation (literally bled in the waiting room waiting for my procedure), so I’m getting taken off of Entyvio and starting Skyrizi soon. I thought I’d be taken off of it months ago, but also thought I was making up still not being in remission. I thought I’d done something wrong or just that I was overreacting, but now I’m a little sad I couldn’t have just been okay on Entyvio. I’m excited (insurance willing) to be starting skyrizi soon! Don’t love the idea of at home injections but that’ll be after a few months of infusions.

My G said she’s had seriously great results with her patients on Skyrizi— like, 2-4 weeks after taking it symptom free results (and she’s said she hasn’t had anyone fail it yet). Is it really that good? I know it’s relatively new for UC treatment and that’s why they didn’t start me on it first, but whoa! Super excited by the prospect of something that can finally push me into remission. I’ve been in my flare since last July (it’s what got me diagnosed) and it’s been a journey, but I’m just excited to be making progress.
