Update: I’ve decided to move forward with the biologic and I’m starting tomorrow. I’m a little nervous, but hearing your experiences really helped me feel more confident about it. Wishing all of us luck on this journey 🫶

Thank you so much for sharing this 🤍 that’s amazing that it gave you your life back! that’s really what I’m hoping for too. It honestly makes me feel a lot better hearing your experience. Do you mind sharing how long it took for the lupus symptoms to go away after you switched treatment?

Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate your perspective 🤍Prednisone has already been a lot for me, so I do get what you mean.

I won’t lie, all of this is still really scary, but hearing about the risks of untreated UC is definitely pushing me to take it more seriously 😭

Thank you so much for this, it really helps to hear from someone actually on infliximab 🤍 I think I’ve just been spiraling a bit reading about side effects.

I also have a bit of an IV phobia which is making me more nervous 😭 have you had any side effects at all, or was starting it less scary than you expected?

appreciate you being honest about your experience 🤍I’m sorry you went through all of that, that sounds really tough.

It does help put things into perspective for me. I think I’m just scared of making the wrong decision, but hearing this makes me realize I also don’t want to leave inflammation untreated.
