Just had my second bowel resection. I was also diagnosed with Latent TB in December so that threw a wrench into treatment plans. It is now safe to start a biologic med. I have never been on one, any opinions on Humira vs Remicade vs entyvio? Infusion vs injection? They all sound pretty scary but I’m told I need them. Thanks

Hey there,
I personally have had a lot of luck with Humira. You have to take it as prescribed though, super important. I've been on Humira since Feb 2015, and yes, it's scary that it messes with your immune system, but to be honest.. which is scarier? Living with Crohn's or having some sort of life again?
It's like choosing the lesser evil, ultimately do what's best for you.
Biologics work differently for everyone, but don't be so afraid that you don't help yourself!
I've had 1 bowel resection in 2016, It had to be done due to my scarring starting to narrow.
I'm here if you need to talk,
Dani

I’ve had remicade and entyvio. Had no problems with either. In my opinion neither one worked for me.
