Flare up

Been in a flare since January 2021, was admitted to hospital on 23rd august 2021 got out on the 27th, turns out the infliximab I was on I have stopped responding too. They have started me on a new treatment ustekinumab. Praying it works. Just wondering this is my first flare since being diagnosed in 2018, when should I start to feel normal again, still feeling quite shakey and weak

  1. Hi , thanks for reaching out. I hope you find some relief with your new treatment. Unfortunately, it's hard to say when you should start feeling normal again, as everyone experiences this disease differently! I hope you start feeling better sooner than later. Keep us updated on how you're doing, if you can! Sending well wishes -Pam (team member)

    1. I think it's usually about 6 weeks. My fingers are crossed that this one helps ease your symptoms!
