Yo Tokyo, I was diagnosed at 22. Experienced some pain and urgency. Didn’t think it was series till I saw some blood. They reduced the pain with Prednisone (steroid) and tapered it off after Entyvio infusion therapy. The infusions react weird with my body felt awful for the first 2 weeks but I stopped needing the steroids. After 3 infusions it only took me 5 days to feel better. Hoping it decreases each time. Seems to be working. I’m new to it so that’s all I really know
