Hi, I’m new here. I was diagnosed with Crohns on 2005. I started on mesalamine and that worked by itself for a few years until my first pregnancy in 2007 when my Crohns got much worse. Over the next several years I tried several different treatments along with mesalamine, humira - failed; Cimzia- worked for Crohns but got frequent uti’s and pneumonia several times; stilera- failed. I’ve been on entyvio since 2018. My insurance changed a few years ago and mesalamine was no longer covered and I had to stop it. Tried a few different variations but they didn’t work. In 2020 several polyps were found in my colon and I had a total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. After surgery I continued on imuran and entyvio monthly and went 1.5 years without a flair. I had a flair in June and another started a few weeks ago. I’ve been on prednisone for 2 weeks and I’m still having pain. What else can I do. I’m so discouraged that I keep having flairs after all I’ve been through. What other treatment should I look into? I’d like some ideas to talk to my gi about. Thanks.
