Has anyone taken Xeljanz for there RA? Orencia didn’t work and my Rheumatologist wants to start me on Xeljanz.

Xeljanz worked for me for pain, but unfortunately I had one UTI after another when I ws on it and ended up with a very serious infection that made me sick for six months. It was too bad, because it really helped with the pain, and not having to inject was a tret for me. I hope it works for you.

Xeljan worked very well for me. And so easy! Highly recommend it.

I would just really do your research or Xeljance before taking it. Under the affects on the digestive system and other systems before making your decision. Good luck.

I have been taking Xeljanz for a few months now. Will be changing meds soon because the Xeljanz isn’t working, but I didn’t have any side effects.
