"Started Vedolizumab in December 2021 had two infusions and then started using the entyvio pen every two weeks started to get huge injection site reactions where my leg swelled up and was super itchy, hard as a rock and hot so was switched back to the infusions. Since this last infusion about 10 days ago I feel so tired and sleepy, have nausea every day and feel dizzy and eyes are sensitive to the daylight, don't have headaches or that but feel like a weird sensation throughout my body plus have a lot of joint pain, I feel like I'm going crazy and people think I'm a hypochondriac :( gonna see if I can change to something else because this feeling is awful was getting flares every couple of months but I dunno which is worse anyone else feeling this ?"

Entyvio (vedolizumab) "Post ileocolectomy surgery, Entyvio was prescribed for maintenance. The initial 8-week dosage was increased to every 4 weeks after blood work revealed insufficient concentration. A colonoscopy after 6 months revealed no polyps, no inflammation, and no ulcerations. I suffered no side effects. Note: Entyvio was prescribed after 5 years on Humira when blood work revealed the TNF blocker was no longer effective. Since Entyvio is administered by infusion at the hospital, it is covered by Medicare Part B, not Part D, and the copay is covered by a Medigap policy (AARP UNITED HEALTH CARE)."

Entyvio (vedolizumab) "Taking Entyvio every 8th week. Experiencing extreme fatique, tiredness, depression, lack of "drive"/braintiredness. Sometimes I feel better for the last 2 to 3 weeks of the time-period. Due to the Covid19 situation I had to wait an additional 2weeks for my dose in April and during this period all these side effects went away."
