For Ulcerative Colitis "I’ve had UC for 37 years. I’ve been on Entyvio for 12 months. I chose to stop due to the debilitating side effects. I am in remission now, however, the side effects are not worth it. After my first infusion, I felt I was having a heart attack. The EMTs said my heart was fine, but I was close to having a stroke. Cortisone injections eliminated this symptom. Over 8 treatments, I developed severe bone and joint pain, some hair loss, major skin dryness and bruising, extreme fatigue, extreme chills and sweats, mouth sores constantly, 24/7 nausea and loss of appetite, some tremors, depression, boils appeared including around my eyes. I developed a serious eye infection after the 8th injection. The ophthalmologist said he’s only seen this type of eye infection in chemo patients. My olfactory senses became affected. Food started tasting different and fragrances seemed off. Entyvio did work, but it’s clearly a toxic drug to where the quality of life is impacted severely in my case."

For Ulcerative Colitis "I have suffered from UC for 14 years. I have tried everything, and it would work for a short while, and then I flared up again. Remicade gave me bad side effects. I stopped and tried good diets and natural means for a year. I had an infection that caused my UC to come back, and I was very sick for a few months. My doctor put me on Entyvio, and it took three or four months for the medicine to work. I have been taking it every four weeks for a year, and now I feel excellent. I have not felt this good in years. For side effects, I had one terrible headache, and sometimes it feels like I have a cold. I always lost a lot of hair with prednisone, and after flares, I have my hair back now, gained weight, and feel very strong."

For Crohn's Disease "My Crohn's was diagnosed in 1978. Started Entyvio in June 2019. Have had the 3 loading doses and am now on the 8-week infusion schedule. Although my Crohn's symptoms have abated, I am experiencing unpleasant side effects: constant joint pain, especially in the neck and shoulders; severe headaches; blurred vision; cuts not healing; hot flashes; chills. Not happy about the side effects, but they are better than the severe abdominal pain and diarrhea."

For Crohn's Disease "I've been on Entyvio now for nine months. Since I've been on the medicine, I only experience Crohn's symptoms about once every week and a half in the evening around bedtime. At that time, I have diarrhea, but after emptying, I feel fine. I no longer am concerned about going out and eating or leaving the house and having an emergency with diarrhea; however, for the last two weeks plus, I've been fighting cold symptoms, and although I may be a little better, I am beginning to wonder if I will ever get over the cold. After reading the experiences of others, I am wondering if the Entyvio is complicating my recovery."
