I made a post a bit ago about how Mesalamine was failing me after my latest colonoscopy and my doctor was recommending a biologic as the next step. Well, I had my follow up office visit the other day and got blood work done.
My doctor said the next options would be either Stelara, Humira, or Velsipidy depending on what my insurance covers for me but they're confident one of them will be covered. She's leaning towards Stelara as it's more targeted than Humira but we'll see. Thankfully, after the initial dosage, both of these are home injections, which is nice.
Anyway, I've been doing research on these drugs trying to figure everything out from side effects to how to deal with the increased infection risk. I'd love to hear about the experiences of people here who are on these drugs. Also, if any of you had to choose between these drugs, what went into your decision?
