I was diagnosed with Crohn’s at age 57, and I’m 71 now. Mesalamine, azathiaprine, Imuran didn’t work. Finally I went on a biologic, inflixamab, and it brought almost immediate remission. No adverse effects after all these years. I get an infusion every eight weeks. I know if you read the fine print warnings you will get scared, but living with Crohn’s symptoms is pretty bad too. Worth the risk for me.
