ABATACEPT

I've been on Abatacept for 3.5 months it's been fantastic I've got my life back with this biologic drug. For just over a week I haven't felt so good I think I've been over doing things (maybe).I've been on Abatacept for 3.5 months it's been fantastic I've got my life back with this biologic drug.

Abatacept and indigestion

I started taking Abatacept about 8 weeks ago. No effect for 6 weeks then all of a sudden no rheumy pain - fantastic. However around that time I started to have indigestion symptoms which have been getting worse. Being a terrible hypochondriac I am worried I have stomach cancer!I started taking Abatacept about 8 weeks ago. No effect for 6 weeks then all of a sudden no rheumy pain - fantastic.

Abatacept

Now I’m back to how I was before, in pain a lot :-( My consultant wants to try me on Abatacept injections, has anyone had any success or experience with this? Apparently I’m ‘running out of options’ and if this doesn’t work there’s one more thing to try then it’s the end of the road.Now I’m back to how I was before, in pain a lot :-( My consultant wants to try me on Abatacept injections, has anyone had any success or experience with this?

Frustrated

been so painful and very swollen they decided to draw fluid from it and inject steroid to relieve the swelling but were unable to get any fluid out as they said my muscles had tightened around the joint too much, so was sent home with 3 leaflets to decide what I would like to try next, Adalimumab, Abataceptbeen so painful and very swollen they decided to draw fluid from it and inject steroid to relieve the swelling but were unable to get any fluid out as they said my muscles had tightened around the joint too much, so was sent home with 3 leaflets to decide what I would like to try next, Adalimumab, Abatacept

Hair loss

Biologics and infections

Today was my first Abatacept injection. All ok so far and I’m trying not to read too much stuff about side effects etc. However I wondered if anyone had any info about infections and biologics. Is it a big issue or no worse than when on dmards?Today was my first Abatacept injection.

EXPERIENCE OF RITUXIMAB AND TRIXUMA INFUSIONS TO CONTROL RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS - ALSO USE OF ABATACEPT with or without Methotrexate therapy

She then suggested I should have Abatacept, but my local hospital CCG insists I must have Methotrexate with it. Yet I have read research papers stating Abatacept monotherapy does work. The odd excuse the CCG give is that it is cheaper to use both injections.She then suggested I should have Abatacept, but my local hospital CCG insists I must have Methotrexate with it.

Dermal Face Fillers

However due to being on methotrexate and abatacept and the fact that my immune system is lowered I have checked with GP and was told it "wasn't recommended". I don't want to obviously do anything risky and create problems for myself. I assume it could cause an infection.However due to being on methotrexate and abatacept and the fact that my immune system is lowered I have checked with GP and was told it "wasn't recommended".

Cimzia...next on the list

Already tried and reacted badly to Benepali & Abatacept. I know I need to try others, depo injections are only easing pain for 6-8weeks, but I am so nervous I will react the same way that I'm not sure if any symptoms then all are just in my head ITMS.Already tried and reacted badly to Benepali & Abatacept.

Orencia (abatacept)

My rheumatologist wants to put me on a monthly infusion of Orencia after having failed to find relief with all the standard oral meds (most of which caused terrible rashes, mouth sores, and/or hair loss) 😕. I must wait for insurance to approve it however, and fear it is going to be very expensive dueMy rheumatologist wants to put me on a monthly infusion of Orencia after having failed to find relief with all the standard oral meds (most of which caused terrible rashes, mouth sores, and/or hair loss) 😕.
