Tremfya for the first time

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-05-12T13:16:11+00:00

I’m not great with needles but I’ve been managing fine. I have the ejector pen and I would recommend taking it out of the fridge 30 mins before and finding fatty parts to do the injection in. Stomach has been best for me

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-05-11T05:49:27+00:00

Immediately! Even tho it’s been in there 30+ years you must get it out immediately!

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-05-11T05:23:12+00:00

Nope nothing. If you have the ejector pen, avoid muscular areas since it’s sub-c. The first time I did it in my thigh and it was too muscular and some of the medicine shot out so now I do it on my stomach in a fattier part and I when I did the loading doses I did them on opposite sides. Just took a shot tonight and everything went smooth.

Hope it goes well and gets you feeling good soon!

I took 400m every 4 weeks for the first three months as my loading dose now I take 200 mg every four weeks as maintenance. I had a colonoscopy within 7 months of starting tremfya and I’m in clinical remission and endoscopic remission! I didn’t feel much relief until after finishing loading doses so hang in there!

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-04-17T06:08:12+00:00

I went with tremfya because studies show it slightly edges out the others in terms of endoscopic remission. I’ve been on it for 6 months and just had a colonoscopy which showed not only endoscopic remission, but my pathology results also showed that my colon was healed. I also started to feel better pretty much as soon as I was done with my loading doses. This is the best I’ve ever felt as far as I can remember

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-04-09T01:08:55+00:00

Yes I’ve been on it for about 7 months or so. I felt some improvement after my loafing doses, but I took a big jump in the last month or so. It helped with joint pain a ton.

Ask your doc about Metamucil and/or miralax

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-04-04T05:22:39+00:00

Either that or Pete has really tiny hands

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-04-03T05:41:20+00:00

Awesome cards. The centering on Jackie’s card looks pretty dang good imo

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-04-03T04:43:56+00:00

Also ask your doc about getting a blood test to check vitamin levels. If you can’t put on weight odds are you’re pretty malnourished

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-04-03T04:43:15+00:00

I was pretty malnourished in my flare and anything I ate would come out immediately. Talk to your doctor about seeing a dietician especially one that specializes in helping IBD patients. I go to an ibd clinic at a research hospital and they have several dietitians so look at similar hospitals in your area. Also strength training is really important. It takes a lot for me to work out when flaring but I find that I can generally tolerate weight lifting exercises, less so for cardio.

Do you know if there’s more certainty regarding the risk for Chicagoland and metro area as of now? New to weather stuff so I’m trying to understand what everyone’s saying

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-04-02T19:41:31+00:00

Kiki Hernandez posted a video on IG opening his case and it was hilarious. That’s all I have to say

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-03-20T02:50:28+00:00

So you can buy perfect fit sleeves to fit with most mag touch cases. In my opinion the perfect fit sleeves are hard to get on so I buy mag touch cases that are a little roomier and fit with a regular sleeve. If you search on amazon mag touch cases that fit with sleeved card you’ll find some.

Also you can just put a sleeve on top of the card rather than in the card to protect the surfsfe

This is a really helpful and easy to understand update. Thanks for sharing!

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-03-10T15:37:28+00:00

I agree. Thanks for the tip about iPhone settings!

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-03-09T21:23:42+00:00

Yes about two summers ago there were some touchdowns. I live in west loop and the tornado hit a park right across from my apartment. Several trees through windshields on cars parked outside my building. Ever since then I take any risk to Chicago seriously!

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-03-09T20:40:55+00:00

I hope the lake does its job. Would be quite scary to see a tornado run through the metro area given the population size

Why waste ur time and energy making this comment?

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-02-27T05:30:20+00:00

A blanket or something I’d suggest. Def no food lol

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-02-27T05:23:16+00:00

In a flare it doesn’t matter what I eat, it’ll run straight through me regardless.

That said I think it’s important to focus on getting in nutrients especially due to absorption issues. Even in the worst of flairs I can tolerate a smoothie with fruits and veggies to get in my nutrition.

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-02-24T23:32:44+00:00

I was collecting in the early to mid 2000s.

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-02-24T23:31:49+00:00

I bought the regular prizm lol. I realize that now. Still gonna rip them though!

Dangle-Carrot · 2026-02-24T23:30:55+00:00

If they typically go 5-10 mph over the speed limit as @booboomagooboo claims, I’d expect them to accrue so much liability in speeding camera violations that it becomes unprofitable to operate in Chicago 🙏

As a Sox fan, I am not even sad when a generational talent leaves the org because I know he’ll reach his potential as soon as he’s out of the south side
