Hi
Only two drugs you have not tried yet are Cyclosporine ( which has serious side effects ) and Vedolizumab
Your abscess and fistula suggests that doing proctocolectomy with a pouch would be the best choice
Good Luck
Hi..
Thanks for the query..
Can you please tell that is there any improvement with Simponi and Prednisolone??
Can you please get a Barium swallow done and upload the latest reports?
Please revert back with answers..
Regards..
I see you are well managed however i recommend asking your doctor about prescribing remicade as a tnf inhibitor it can be helpful for your inflammation,.
