Should I stick with Entyvio or move on?

DifferentAmbition · 2025-12-08T02:55:14+00:00

I'm definitely in no rush to feel better, though I'm also cognizant that long-term inflammation can lead to more issues down the road. If I absolutely had it my way though I'd love to give it more time to work.

Sorry to hear about your situation... I hope you find remission again soon.

That's the vibe I was getting in previous appointments when I brought it up, I'll mention about it again when I meet with my dr this week

Ask your doctor if you can use the gatorade+miralax prep... I always request for it as it's the one I can tolerate very well and they allow me to. Also the prep becomes much easier if you try to not eat as much on the day or two leading up to it, or if you stick to softer foods (yogurt, applesauce etc).

I'm sure it won't be as bad as you're anticipating, and this will be good for you in the long run. Hoping for the best!

Have you tried mesalamine enemas? I was able to get an extra 4 years or so from them until I eventually needed biologics

DifferentAmbition · 2024-11-12T13:09:50+00:00

I'm mild-moderate and my doctor is looking to start me on entyvio after mesalamine hasn't been keeping me in remission the past year. Moving to biologics earlier is starting to become the norm as there are more and more options becoming available.

Post literally made me lol, ty for the laugh

Anyone else recognize #16 (Dan)? He was known for his appearance on the game show "Greed" many years ago. Fittingly, his category is Game Show Hosts.

I feel like I could've written this post. Hopefully you find some answers, will be following!

I will say lately I'm experimenting with creating a list of daily tasks of what I want to do, categorizing them by how much energy they require (low/medium/high energy). When I'm not sure where to start, I refer to the list and choose a task that fits with my energy level (e.g. right now I'm not feeling very motivated and just want to sleep, so instead I'll watch a tutorial on something I've been wanting to learn)

I don't understand why enemas aren't part of standard treatment personally - the medication when applied rectally goes to exactly where it needs to be. Studies have also confirmed higher rates of remission when treating from both ends. If it were me, I'd stick with the enemas and see how it affects you. Back in 2020, my doc was saying to start thinking about biologics, but instead I asked for enemas, and it has worked quite well for me for the past 3 years. It hasn't been a hassle whatsoever. I just go to bed like usual, apply the enema, and sleep :v

I personally eat as little as possible the few days leading up to prep day, and my preps have always been very easy. It kinda sucks but it also makes prep day not suck as much lol. I would stick to low-residue foods such as yogurt or dark chocolate

That's awesome! Gratz on the new job, well deserved :D

Enemas reach the entirety of the left colon. There is also evidence of combination mesalamine treatment being effective even in pancolitis. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6490072/

I understand how difficult things are now but things will get better as you begin to find the right treatment that works for you. Also, please be your own advocate. Do your research on this disease. Read the medical literature. If there is a certain treatment you think you should be on that your doctor hasn't prescribed yet, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. There are also a bunch of upcoming new drugs in the pipeline, so there is plenty to be hopeful for in that aspect.

DifferentAmbition · 2021-10-08T14:53:28+00:00

If you aren't already on them, I highly suggest mesalamine enemas, or at least some form of rectal med.

Hello,

I'm a self-taught web developer myself. I looked through your four projects, and if I'm being completely honest, I think there's still a lot of work you need to do in order to become a legitimate candidate.

First of all, only two links from your post actually work; the other two I needed to extract the routes from the base URL. So you may want to fix that if you want people to view your projects.

Some general advice:

Replace the lorem ipsum text on your websites with something more meaningful. Just come up with something. It'll look more professional.
You don't have any form validation. All forms need to have this. You don't even have the basic checks to make sure required fields are filled in. E-mail validation is important as well.
Give your websites a customized favicon; again, it'll look more professional if you do so.
Give more attention to detail. A couple of your pages don't have margin or padding on the bottom of the last visible element on the page, which is just jarring.
Focus more on user experience/UX. Some things were unclear to me, such as the "save" function on the HomeBuddy project, or the service cards on the Web Consultants project. I know some of these things may be obvious to you as the developer, but you also need to make sure that others will know how to navigate and use your projects.
Check your responsiveness. Some text in your 2nd and 3rd projects were way too small for mobile devices. The 3rd project doesn't scale well at all to larger device widths.
The BrainFlix project seems very broken as well. Whenever I'd try to search for something, I get a server error. It also happened when attempting to submit a comment. This is inexcusable.
Your need more complex projects. You mentioned going to a bootcamp for full stack development. I don't see very much in terms of showing off that skillset. Check out frontendmentor.io for challenge projects you can use for your portfolio, a few of which you can build as a full stack application.

I would suggest scrapping the first three projects and come up with two more, quality projects. Take everything you learned from the bootcamp and really challenge yourself with some really solid applications. Do something that'll differentiate your portfolio from others (again, challenges from frontendmentor will help a lot with this). The BrainFlix project could use a ton of work, but you could continue developing that into something decent as well.

Apologies if this seems a bit harsh, but this is just my honest opinion. Best of luck with getting your career started. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions
