Abatacept (Orencia)

[Bookworms]

I’m currently taking methotrexate and leflunamide. My rheumatologist wants to put me on Abatacept. Does anyone have any experience of this drug?

Sorry, I don't. But hopefully someone else who does will see this and respond.

Sorry, I also don't. Have been on Meth since 2015 and won't mess around with change. It is making a difference and I don't like change unless they can really give me a very good reason to make a change. We can't do anything about the daily rollercoaster with this illness so having a consistency in our meds helps.

I am due to go onto this biologic in the near future. I have a diagnosis of Lupus and RA. My nephrologist and rheumatologist have chosen this biologic for me as it is much kinder on my kidneys.
