Thanks so much for your feedback, I hope it works as well for me. Sorry you had to go off of it. I start arencia today. Prior to that I was taking remicade infusions, which worked very well, apparently its also supposed to be used in conjunction with methotrexate. I just cannot handle methotrexate. So this was my doctor's solution. Take care.

Hi JPolar21, I was fortunate enough to be on Orencia for several months. I had a wonderful experience with it. The infusion only took about an hour in all. I read a great article in Wikipedia about Orencia and I knew it would be right for me. My Rheumatologist let me try it and I felt so much better. The reason I went off of it was that I had to have dentistry done and then I had an eye infection develop. They then tried me on another biologic. I loved Orencia and wish I could take it today as everything in my body got better as a result. Hope this helps. Best wishes for you! 😊
