inconvenience of traveling, waiting on the infusion and immediate after effects are all difficult.For the amount of money I feel that I should be in much better condition than I am.Very expensive

I am 55 and have been dx since 35. This is the first treatment that has even started working. Also on Arava. First three days have headache, extreme fatigue then slowly feel better. I have had three treatments. Nothing else has worked. i even have progressive damage in hands and feet during Remicade. Hope things will be looking up.

After 5 infusions I have to say the drug is well tolerated with just a dull headache the night of the infusion and lessening of effectiveness near the end of the month cycle. I have some new tendonitis but overall better movement.

I was diagnosed with RA at the age of 31. I've been on remicade,enbrel,humira,& all the pills. This Orencia so far has kept me from having those nightmare flare ups that used to make me contemplate having my extremities simply amputated. That's how bad it got when the other meds stopped working. I was at the end of my rope. No one really understands the severe pain I was having. Orencia, so far has brought me back to the living, but so did all the other meds for periods of time. I pray that this Orencia will continue to stay effective. Its great to walk among the living again!!!!
