Anyone Taking Orencia?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Maple Ridge, BC

I have been taking Hyrimoz (Humira) since May of 2021 and I am having a lot of pain and fatigue lately. My doctor is considering putting me on Orencia and I am wondering how many of you have taken it and how it worked or did not work for you. Side effects?

I was on Humira and now Orencia. I too also have plaque psoriasis and RA. I don't see much improvement with any biologic to be honest.

I’ve never been on any of those, so I have no idea how I’d react to them,

@A myRAteam Member my Mom had psoriasis and I was told my my RA doctor she probably did not have RA instead Psoriatic arthritis. I was thinking I did not have RA because my fingers did not swell like hers. RA doctor said they call them sausage digits
