Hi everyone! I’m so excited to share that I just reached deep remission from severe UC I’ve been battling for 3 and a half years!!! It feels so surreal to me, but I wanted to share how I got here in case it can help anyone else!! I have been on Entyvio infusions every 4 weeks for 2 years, and have been on xeljanz 22mg daily for 1 and a half years. Things started to change once I got into the Xeljanz. I stopped bleeding within 2-3 days of initially taking it but the urgency took a bit longer to go away. I also had to do a lot of stress reduction and remove ALL veggies, seeds, and regular red meat consumption from my diet. I both wanted to encourage you with this post, and ask a question. I am now beginning to taper off of Xeljanz, and I feel like I need more sleep than usual. Is it typical to need more sleep while tapering off of medication?
