So tomorrow is going to be June 27th, 2014, the day I will FINALLY be receiving my first dose of the new medication!!!! I am going to the Metro Infusion Center in Libertyville at 2 pm to get my first Entyvio infusion. I have been in contact with my primary doctor, Dr. Kinnucan, and I have stopped taking the Tacrolimus since Wednesday, but I will continue to take the Predisone 15mg for now. I was told that the medicine can take up to the third infusion (6 weeks) to start to notice any major differences. Some people can tell after the first or second too, but it just varies from person to person.
The plan for now is that I am going tomorrow to get the first infusion, I will go again in 2 weeks and then another 4 weeks after that. After my first three infusions, I will then receive it every 2 months. AND I hopefully won't have to take any oral medication anymore..!
I will keep updating throughout this process and discussing how I am feeling or if I can notice anything.
