I started on Remicade, but sadly I was one of the few who didn’t see results and I managed to get a lot sicker while waiting for it to do its thing. I got put on Upadacitinib and so far I feel a lot better, if it keeps working this well then I’m very happy to just have a pill to take daily. It’s pretty new, but from what I’m hearing it’s very effective.


Upadacitinib has been a huge success for someone in my family. Spectacularly effective.

This is after trying the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, 5-ASAs, adalimumab, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab, none of which offered more than minor relief.


Fingers crossed for the new pill! I've also heard that JAK inhibitors work wonder for a lot of people who didn't get results from TNF inhibitors. And it's probably way easier to tinker with the dose if need be :P
