The use injections might be enough to trigger a MEB without being on a profile. Talk to your med group. Your CC can also initiate a MEB if they feel your readiness has declined. Might need to schedule a chat with them and explain your situation if you're not making any ground with medical.

What were your results? I'm in the same situation. AF reserves with UC and will be starting either humira or remicade after my next colonoscopy. Mtf said the UC diagnosis alone was cause for meb, but they haven't started it yet and I was on different medication then.
