Anyone Taking Orencia Or Rituximab?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, I’m currently taking Xeljanz however it’s not working well for me. I’m meeting up with my Rheum soon and she sent me info on both of these drugs. She wants to switch me to one of them…. Looking for peoples input into how they found taking them. I’ve previously taken Methotrexate, plaquenil, leflunomide, humira, Actemra, Rinvoq and now xeljanz. I’ve had to stop them because of side effects or they became ineffective. I’m leaning towards Orencia because I could do the injections at home. I’m… read more

I had a good run with xeljanz, a year and a half before it became ineffective. Now I'm taking monthly infusions of Orencia, having a problem with daily fatigue but other than that it's been good.

I’m taking Orencia. I was doing well but had to stop Orencia for at least a month before and a month after the Vacine. As a result I had a flare up and it’s now several months and I’m not back to my self.

Many are experiencing flares and much worse from vaccine. In fact many didn't even have RA till they took the vaccine

My dear friends... do your research outside of mainstream media and govt sites. I have many friends with and without RA whose lives will never be the same from taking this poisonous so called vaccine that alters your DNA forever! Everyone I know personally with an auto immune disease has gotten significantly worse after taking it. Bill Gates has come forward in interviews admitting they their agenda along with the World Economic Forum is to depopulate the planet by 2025!!! He is responsible for developing this "vaccine" along with others that have killed thousands in Africa and India! These vaccines have not been tested and long term prognosis is a complete unknown! It is killing thousands all over the world and destroying lives! It has been scientifically proven to not prevent infection or transmission in fact it has proven to make one more vulnerable to infection. Since when have we trusted our govt with our lives....since when have we trusted them at all? DO YOUR OWN Extensive RESEARCH!!! Please take care of yourselves. ❤️
