I was taking a bunch of medicines at once, even prednisone and nothing was working. The doctors said I could try Biologics but I was done at that point, I was not going to try biologics only to have it fail down the road possibly. I told the doctors I was not going to take anything else, I wanted the surgery!!!! Almost 7 years with my pouch and I am very happy

Thanks, Lauren. I'm starting to feel that same way! I have Xeljanz yet to try, but I've been reading all about it online, and it honestly really scares me. Also, the efficacy rates aren't even very good.
