Has Anyone Done Both The Orencia By Syringe, And As An Infusion? If So, Which Method Worked Better For You?
Hi there my name is Terri and yes I'm on Orencia infusions once a month
It has helped me with inflammation and taking other meds to help with the pain. But I'm also fighting OA, Fibromialgia, and Osteoporosis. The Fibromialgia is the one I can't seem to control. I miss hugs, shaking people's hands just the human touch hurts. There's times I don't say anything when my friends hug me the pain is so excurshiateing at times I just suck it up and go to the bathroom and compose my self and come out with a 😃 smile
Ouch, omg, sh**, and other words have been my vocabulary lately. The last few weeks has snowed and the temperatures has gone from -5° to 5° at night to highs of 20° to 60° and omg does my joint hurt. When I walk I pop on my feet, ankles, hips, omg my neck I sound like a bowl of Rice Krispy without the milk....lol
But I take the time off for myself and take care of me. I have never done that before, I was always taken care of others. But now I'm paying for it. Take care of you cause no one else will. Make time for you have a day just for you to see friends and family or just to take in a movie, walk threw the zoo, museums, a garden, paint, dance, just do something for you.
I have other issues and other health problems 🙃 but I won't and can't give up. I'm 63 and I just stared to care for me.
God Bless You All
I've been taking the orencia injections for almost two months. So far I've had no noticeable improvement. But no side effects either
I did the retuxion infusion every 6 months, moved and now have a new RA doctors and now on Orencia injection every week, I prefer the self injections to the infusion
I was on Orencia injection, didnt help. But every one responds differently.
@A myRAteam Member did your doctor say how much sooner he thinks the injections might kick in? My doctor never really said. I'm starting to get a little discouraged that it hasn't started working. Maybe it will over the next couple months
Has Anyone Used Actembra Infusion?
