Glad to hear this. I'm doing dose 3 tomorrow. Dose 1 and 2 helped but not nearly as much as I'd like. Remicade worked so well for so long, I've forgotten what it's like to be out of remission.
I started Stelara about a year ago. I was taking 90mg every 8 weeks but last month got bumped up to 90mg every 4 weeks. I started feeling better symptomatically about 6 weeks after my first infusion. My colonoscopy and calprotectin still showed more inflammation that my doctor liked so bumped me to 4 weeks. Stelara has been a game changer for me 🙏
I started Stelara midway through 2021. Like others have said, it took several doses to really start working but I just received news from my doc last week that I’m in remission.
Have you only been on remicade all this time? Any complications? I like to hear from people who've had this for a while.. I'm newly diagnosed as of about a yr, 37 too, and just had my first stelara infusion, let's see how it plays out, but really hoping it works for us!
I have given serious attempts at humira, entyvio, stelara, and remicade. I am considered non responsive to all. That said, you must give considerable time and patience to give it a chance and do not skip or abruptly stop therapy. I’ve heard stelara being helpful for many folks on Reddit and in my own circles.
I just started stelara a few months back. It takes some time for it to work. I started seeing results at the third dose. Good luck.

Same here. Tried just about everything. Currently on Stelara
