I’m scared to move onto this medication.

Me too I won't be taking it.

[@auntigingy8666]

Does also the Jak1 Stat 3 associated with Chron s disease ?
I have celiac disease with fructose lactose intollerance and eosinophilia.
My mother has Chron s disease.
I had a colonoscopy 2 months ago and the result came back negative for Chron s: as I was diagnosed with non respinsive celiac disease /refractory type 1 my diet is a pure carnivore .
Now i have been tested for polycytemia and since Jak 2 is involved with Chron s I would like to know the association. Thanks

How many days before you start rrinvoqshould you have the shingles vaccine? Can you have the shingles vaccine if you’re already on rinvoq

[@auntigingy8666]

Have you started this? I believe they have you take the vaccine 20days before starting Rinvoq. I wouldn’t take the vaccine, that’s just me though.
