Rituximab...

So, 6 months ago I was offered 2 infusions Abatacept or Rituximab, I went for Abatacept as the first thing they told me was the worst side effect that can happen with Rituximab.

Abatacept and hair loss

Hi Anyone have any info on Abatacept and hair loss, well hair thinning? I’ve been on Abatacept for 2 years and it works well but I’ve lost approximately 50% of my hair.

Bursitis in ankle

I'm due to start abatacept soon so will hopefully be able to get to see my consultant again then, but I just wondered if anyone else suffers with this and if so have you found anything that helps? Thanks. Best wishes to all.

Abatacept causing skin rash.

I've been taking abatacept for about 4 years without any issues, over the last 6 months I've developed a skin rash with patches on most of my torso. Has anyone else had this problem?

renewing driving licence

It is not clear whether I need to inform the DVLA about the my rheumatoid arthritis or the medications I take which are Abatacept, Methrotrexate & Sulfasalazine. None of these effect my driving & I have been on these medications for some years. I have no adaptations to my car.

How long before biologic Abatacept (Orencia) starting working

Hi, I am new to this forum and would be grateful if anyone could advise on how long it took biologic Orencia to work. I have been on weekly injections of Orencia now for 6 weeks but not noticing any major improvement with my pain and swelling?

Break in Treatment

Hi All A few months ago, my previous treatment for RD, Abatacept was stopped and I was to start Upadicitinib. However, due to this coinciding with a shingles and covid vaccines, I didn't actually start the new medication.
