So I want to say it’s been a little less than a year since I started Skyrizi. It’s been a miracle drug for me despite the stress of having to hang out with Dave every eight weeks since my doctor refuses to help me (and I’m stubborn and don’t want a nurse in my home) and two devices that malfunctioned. I’m starting to freak out because I’ve been on Humira, Entivyo, Rinvoq, and Remicade. What other options are there? I refuse to go anywhere near prednisone ever again. I hate how long prior authorizations take. I have Medicaid, so things take ages.

I’ve developed a fear of eating because of my crohns. I’ll maybe eat a few cheese sticks a day to get by. I’m in Mexico right now and I’m sad I can’t indulge like I want to with food. 🥲 So my average healthy weight is 125-135 lbs. I was 118 lbs before leaving for my trip. The lowest I’ve hit was 111 lbs back in February. 5’8, 30 year old female if that means anything. I’m also a +20 year vegetarian and I try to eat as clean as possible. I’m just tired of this pain and embarrassment. I have to wear pads constantly because I’m terrified of accidents. If I lift anything heavy a little comes out. I just hate this so much.

I feel like Crohn’s has taken so much from me. I’m sorry I’m essentially ranting now. I just feel like y’all understand. I feel so restricted and alone. Thanks for reading this far. I do have a scope scheduled for November. I’m nervous and dreading it as I just had one last year. 🥲

If anyone can think of other biologics, let me know. I just want to have ideas for my doctor for my next appointment. I’m tired of this trial and error. 😭

Hello, I’m curious if anyone has changed their major and what the process was like. I’ve been going for my BS in psych with a specialization in addictions for over a year now. I’ve realized this path just isn’t for me and I want to change my major to BS in cybersecurity. I emailed my advisor and she said an audit was going to be sent. Of course she sent me an audit of a major that was completely unrelated. I emailed her and now I’m waiting for a new audit. I’m hoping that once I get the correct audit that financial aid won’t give me issues. For those who changed majors: how was your financial aid affected? That’s honestly what I’m worried about the most.

And if there is anyone who went the BS in cybersecurity route, did you like the program?

So I stumbled upon an app called “We can’t wait”. It has a lot of great information and maps to help us find bathrooms when we need it the most. I thought I’d share this to help others as I wish I would have found this app sooner. 🥹

Hello, I’m leaving Sunday for a 21 day adventure to Brazil and I was wondering what vegetarian options exist and what you recommend. This is my first time visiting, so I’m not sure where to really start.

Thank you in advance. 🫶🏻

Edit: I’m going to São Paulo.
