A fantastic real world explanation of how to self care ❤

I’m starting skyrizi once insurance approves it and I’m super nervous. I couldn’t tolerate entyvio very well and I’m super anxious ab trying another biologic but this video gives me a lot of confidence and hope. I hope this medicine is the right fit for me💞I truly believe you kinda have to keep trying out meds until you find the right one.✨

I love how you describe being hungry! I’m just starting to feel that too, like who knew food could FIX that feeling?

This is another great video. I am going to get on Skyrizzi after the 1st of the year. I have been on Remicade and 6mp for about a year and a half. Please keep us informed about how this works for you in the long term. The combination treatment works great for me but the risk of developing certain cancers is problematic.

good luck with everything.

Best of luck on the switch! The skyrizzi infusions will be much faster than remicade 🙌🏼

I laughed out loud when you mentioned that weird, new nauseous feeling. Hunger? What’s that? I’m right there with you

It was like Tom Hanks showing back up at Helen Hunt’s house in castaway lol

Hi,From Calgary. I will be starting Skyrizi soon so decided to watch two of your videos. Looking forward to it. You didn’t mention anything about your diet. My insurance stopped covering my remicade so I tried Inflectra and had a bad reaction to it. Blood pressure went up to over 170. As far as diet, I would recommend, being I’ve had crohns since I was 12 now 58, that diet would help significantly. Three major ones would be all milk products, gluten, big time, caused fistula’s, and medications which would include nsaids, antibiotics and vaccines. The first two would cause instant glare ups. And the vaccines I believe are what causes crohns and many other diseases. Worst one being covid. But would abstain from all vaccines. Anyways hope that helps. Again thx for the videos and good luck with increased improvement. Not a fun thing to have. God Bless. 🙂 Kerry.

Glad it's working. I'm also getting on skyrizi. The doctor suggested stelara but I wanted my rizz to be sky high so we went with skyrizi. In order for me to get on it my TB tests have to come back negative so i'm hoping for the best. Also getting on a gluten and dairy free diet has helped me tremendously. I would suggest. It's hard but it makes me feel better.

[@coachninab]

Omg completely forgot to warn everyone about the biggest side effect with skyrizi. It boosts your rizz levels sky high!

[@ElijahTWinch]

@@coachninab yes haha. In all seriousness I hope everything works out for you

I take a vitamin L-Lysine which helps with cold sores due to my Lupus. You should look into it if your interested. It may also help with dry eyes but not 100% sure on that. I'm finding your videos very helpful.

[@Spaghetti989]

I take valtrex for suppressive therapy, it’s FDA approved for purpose. After my first skyrizi loading dose I had 5 cold sores at one time on my nose!
