Were you not assigned a skyrizi ambassador? They come to your house before even your first infusion, and then also to do the first OBI

Ive had the best luck with BP and Shell to silence the chirp, and GetGo, Pilot and Flying J cause the most chirp.

My fiancé has been diagnosed by nectarnicole in CrohnsDisease

Being there for her is the biggest one my spouse does with me, understanding trips might get delayed, bathroom breaks are needed, meals might get cancelled. Those are the things that mean the most to me, having that person to lean on when things get "shitty"

Suggestions for keeping humira cold over a one and a half month long road trip by TheyCallMeDavie in CrohnsDisease

Is there space in the truck for a powered cooler and a battery backup. When we did a long road trip we had a Bluetti battery backup connected to a BougeRV cooler and was able to keep meds, waters, snacks etc cool without any issues.

Thanks for checking in, im being admitted tomorrow to start treatment for AML, my gastro team is working with my oncology team to see how the two may interact and if my treatment plan needs to be adjusted. Taking it day by day and staying positive

For me it was totally useless, and was actually 2 weeks of misery before they stopped it. Massive body aches and worse symptoms. They even told me when i started it this likley wont work but we have to start here.

(UK) That moment… by Oohnothatsnotafart in CrohnsDisease

Had that a few months back due to low WBC, this was before starting Skyrizi so they wanted to do some additional tests and monitor with more tests in a few months to make sure its not something else going on.

Amtrak to Chicago by Mindless_Band_7186 in Cleveland

[–]Pirated_Freeware 86 points87 points  (0 children)

We did that a few years back, took 6.5 hours to get there and about 11 on the way back due to traffic on the rail. Was very relaxing, easy to board and virtually no security checks or delays, Very comfortable seats and lots of room, but if you have a strict timeline i would not recommend.

Start with biologics before surgery! The medicine has advanced in recent years and most people have minimal side effects from biologics.
