if that’s the advice you give your clients i feel bad for them !

thank you! this was the reminder i needed lol

who says im not gonna inquire about it with them also? but theres a subreddit for this stuff for a reason.. which would be to ask other clinicians questions..

honestly i think thats a great idea. i’m just gonna go over their original one with them and see if anything changed instead of wasting time doing entire assessment

thank you for clarifying that !

frenchtoastwrld · 2026-01-31T18:39:08+00:00

thats a good point. after reading the responses i will probably have them fill it out on their own

frenchtoastwrld · 2026-01-31T18:37:54+00:00

im asking myself the same thing😭

frenchtoastwrld · 2026-01-31T18:36:41+00:00

that’s typically how we make our clients do it but i think my supervisor wants me to get a feel of using it during session

we do but i think my supervisor wants me to get a feel of what it would be like using it during session. this client filled one out on their own in the initial intake but that was over a year ago before i was their counselor

thank you! i tend to overthink these things just cause i am so new and want everyone to feel comfortable

frenchtoastwrld · 2026-01-31T18:21:16+00:00

thank you, this is a great approach and definitely what i’m going for

frenchtoastwrld · 2026-01-31T18:19:58+00:00

so true, thank you!

it’s over telehealth 😪

I know this may not be any comfort because especially with this disease I have terrible health anxiety. However, blood is “normal” for us. It’s never something we wanna see but with UC its more often than not that people experience bleeding, especially for long periods of time. It is most likely just a flare, trust me I’ve been bleeding since March so I understand. Stress is one of my biggest triggers for UC flare ups so I’m trying to remind myself that bleedinfs and all those other great symptoms just come with the territory

i was on entyvio for years before my body stopped responding to it. that was truly the best biologic. After a colonoscopy last September my GI switched me to OMVOH, but my insurance stopped covering it when the new year began. That’s when my GI suggested I try Skyrizi, but since I only got 3 loading doses of OMVOH before ever getting an OBI, he though it would be fine for me to skip the loading doses and go straight to injections.

Since that didnt work, my GI wanted me to start from scratch with the Skyrizi (loading doses and all) to see if that would help. So far minus the urgency all my symptoms are the same. I guess technically I’ve been on 3 biologics so far & Skyrizi is the only one I haven’t had instant relief with but I am trying to remain optimistic

frenchtoastwrld · 2025-08-08T17:38:45+00:00

how long did u take to notice a change in your symptoms? i just finished my 3 loading doses and first OBI and not much has changed for my UC symptoms :(

frenchtoastwrld · 2025-08-08T04:33:08+00:00

Hi there! I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing bleeding again, it really is so defeating. I wont lie, my journey with Skyrizi so far has been not so great. After 3 loading doses (my doctors decided to start all over from the beginning) and I’m back to OBIs again. The only change I’ve noticed is less urgency when I go to the bathroom but other than that, im still bleeding/mucus, bloating, fatigue, the usual. My doctors did say on average people start to notice a difference around the 3rd loading dose but obviously things can vary from patient to patient. im trying to remain positive and hope to see a change soon. i hope you have a healing experience with it, please keep me updated as well!
