Has anyone tried Stelara for crohn's?

I just did my first injection for a week ago for a severe flare I'm having right now and I'm really hoping it can put me in remission.

    1. Hi Chrystal22,

      I am a UC JPouch patient on Remicade. But I have 4 friends with Crohn's on Stelara right now. I have one friend who has been on it for about a year now, and she is in remission. She started feeling positive effects within a few weeks. Another friend has been on it for 6 months and is doing well. She has also seen improvements in her psoriasis & arthritis. My other 2 friends just had their first injections 2 weeks and 4 weeks ago. They are both reporting to have had some small positive strides.

      Stay the course, I'm sure relief is coming soon!

      1. Hi there, my dr put me on Stelara about 4 months ago due to entyvio not working. I haven’t seen any significant changes in my symptoms. Hope some relief is in your future.
