Ustekinumab (Stelara) 130mg/26ml IV infusion: My experience and info about Crohn's disease treatment

I recently started treatment with Ustekinumab (Stelara) 130mg/26ml IV infusion for my Crohn's disease. The initial infusion went well, and I'm now moving on to the subcutaneous injections for maintenance. I wanted to share my experience and gather some information from others who have been through this. What was your experience with the initial IV infusion? Any advice on making the transition to injections smoother? Also, what are the common side effects people experience, and how do you manage them? I have heard about the potential for serious side effects and I need to know if anything can be done to mitigate those.
