Welcome to Connect, @momoof5 and thank you so much for sharing your experience with iron deficiency caused anemia. You were certainly put through the wringer before finally landing on the solution for the cause of your anemia. I’m so glad you were able to get to the bottom of the issue with the Crohn’s disease and the less obvious ulcers! Now that your gut health is improving, you’re able to absorb the iron again.
Will the Skyrizi be a lifelong med or is this a drug you can be on until your intestines no longer show inflammation and then stop?

I don't know. It is 2 steps forward and 1 step back in that every time I get an infection I have to pause the Skyrizi. Then my inflammation levels go back up. When I am able, I restart the Skyrizi and the levels began to decrease again. I am not in remission yet.
