For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters.
Tramfya offers self-injection or intravenous infusion from the start.
Tramfya is administered as injections under the skin or infusions through a vein every four weeks, followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks. If your doctor decides that you can self-inject Tramfya, proper training is required. Tramfya is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Serious allergic reactions, increased risk of infections or lower ability to fight them, and liver problems may occur. Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, or need a vaccine. Explore what's possible. Ask your doctor about Tramfya today.

Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with...
Josh Widdicombe (2:58)
Olive, can you say Rob Beckett?
Lou (3:01)
Rob Beckett.
Josh Widdicombe (3:02)
Can you say Josh Widdicombe?
Lou (3:07)
Wow, that was really good.
Josh Widdicombe (3:09)
Well done.
Lou (3:11)
Yes, I can.
Josh Widdicombe (3:13)
Please play this. Been waiting over three years to finally do this. Olive is three in November and listens to you whenever I do. Thanks for getting through the daily grind of window cleaning every day. And you guys in my ears, been listening before Olive was even born from Ashley Smith, 399 months and Olive, 34 months.
Sonny Temby, West Wales.
Rob Beckett (3:32)
Go on Ashley Smith, go on Olive.
Josh Widdicombe (3:34)
I know Josh loves the area. I do. I love Pembrokeshire. It's incredible.
Rob Beckett (3:39)
Where's Pembrokeshire again? Wales.
Josh Widdicombe (3:41)
It's southwest Wales. Yeah.
Rob Beckett (3:43)
Mumbles.
Josh Widdicombe (3:45)
Further, so further west.
Rob Beckett (3:46)
Further west of Mumbles.
Josh Widdicombe (3:48)
Right, right.
Rob Beckett (3:49)
Aberystwyth.
Josh Widdicombe (3:49)
Far bottom corner. Further south than Aberystwyth.
Rob Beckett (3:53)
Oh my god. We'll get there eventually.
Josh Widdicombe (3:55)
Yeah.
Rob Beckett (3:55)
So it's beyond Swan. Right round there. Blimey.
Josh Widdicombe (3:59)
Yeah. Love it.
Great place. Great place.
Rob Beckett (4:03)
If you get it on the right day for weather, it's unbeatable. But the problem is that's once every sort of six weeks.
SPEAKER_3 (4:11)
Yeah.
Josh Widdicombe (4:11)
But that day, Rob.
SPEAKER_3 (4:12)
That day.
Rob Beckett (4:13)
Oh, that day. And that's the day they all Instagram it. Exactly, Rob. When I put it on tour and I go, can't wait to get to Temby. I've seen all those videos of them surfing and having champagne on the beach. Get there, fucking. It's like doing a gig, facing a fucking Dyson fan. Wherever you go, wind.
