Entyvio side effects


Sat, January 18, 2020 12:08 PM

I started Entyvio at the beginning of September 2019 and by mid-November I started having pain in my hands and feet, which then moved to my wrists and ankles. Now it is in my knees and elbows. I have a lot of swelling in my hands, feet, and ankles - so bad that I can only wear an old pair of sneakers. My rings do not fit anymore. I spoke to my doctor about this and he said to take Aleve. He wants me to do at least one more infusion. I am worried that my immune system has gone from attacking my colon to attacking my joints. I now have all the symptoms of rheumotoid arthritis. I was reading an ad yesterday for Cosentyx, which is an infusion for psoriatic - the first side effect listed is Inflammatory Bowel Disease!!! Have I just traded one immune system disease for another???
