Has anyone with UC stopped responding to Entyvio?

Entyvio worked Gor years for my uc until it stopped working in early 2021. I have been on 4 Prednisone tapers while continuing mesalamine, but every time the taper reached about 15 mg, my symptoms increased again. After a long process to gain insurance approval I began Humira about 6 weeks ago. I have seen steady improvement after about the third week.

I’m currently in your shoes. I was (still am) on Entyvio, worked perfectly for 10 months then hit a flare & I can’t seem to get off prednisone. Dr isn’t quite ready to move me to Humira, so he’s got me on mercapuratine to see if both can work….but it takes up to 6 months for it to work. I’m worried because I can’t get my COVID booster or flu shot as long as I’m on the prednisone yo-yo. Are you having any side effects from Humira? Is it an infusion, shot it pill?
