100%. I have had Crohn's since I was 15. I had ten inches of my small I testine removed at 16. Managed to hold it in check with double the normal dosage of Humira until I was 36, after years and years of trying different pills. The, the Humira stopped working. Basically, every moment of every day was some level of pain. Ranging from being punched up to being stabbed.
Then, I started Skyrizi. And for the first time in my life since high school, I had no pain at all. It was damn near miraculous. I have severe Crohn's affecting both large and small intestine. And the last round of scans I had showed no active bowel disease anywhere. It astounded me every single day for a long time. I was suddenly a regular person. Pooping once a day and everything. I really don't think i could survive going back. Not mentally. Now that I know what being normal is like.
I just have fibromyalgia and chronic migraines and dislocations from hEDS. At some point my sense of pain just broke and now I don't really feel anything anymore. Which is both a blessing and a curse

You mean it actually filters without conscious effort for people?
