Abatacept

How long does orencia (abatacept) take to work?
Has anyone any experience of
abatacept
by weekly injection, it's such a long waiting game. I have been advised it will take 12 weeks to take effect.

Being on Abatacept
Hi All
Abatacept
users. Have found out about injecting it now I'd like to know what experience people have had on it. I have previously had two anti TNF's and one biologic - Rituximab - all of which worked great but they all messed up bits of me so had to come off them.

Anyone had any problems on Abatacept self injection?
Not sure I really want to know the horrid bits but looks like I may be on
Abatacept
as it's easier for me to self inject a biologic rather than travel to have infusions of Rituximab. Thanks all.

Have I run out of Bio's?
i had a look on the site here and
Abatacept
is the last one mentioned. my rheumy told me that even
Abatacept
was so new that it hadn't completed trial in some places.

Cracked and bleeding fingers
I am going to start on
abatacept
soon, but the skin difficulties have started again. My fingers are raw. It's painful to wash or do anything. I have tried Diprobase but seems to inflame it and the skin hardens again within minutes. Tried neutrogena. No good.

No energy.....
I am on
Abatacept
now since July last year and doing very well on it indeed. For the first 3/4 months I was full of energy, cleaning the house, going out socially, taking the dogs on really long walks.......then gradually my energy levels seemed to gradually reduce.

Best time to take abatacept
I am due to get my first delivery tomorrow, and was wondering what is the best time to inject. Morning would mean that I am alone in case of any reactions I might have, or evening, when hubby will be home, and if I did havea reaction I would ppossibly sleep through it

and the new drug is...................
Abatacept
. RA nurse has ordered it, and given me the info box, plus instructions on the injection (I thought it was going to be infused, but no, I shall inject). She thinks it wont take to long for the delivery company to get it organised.

ABATACEPT
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am after getting my fourth infusion of
Abatacept
and I am doing really well on it. I had my usual three monthly appointment with my rheumy doc and she is very please with all of my blood results.

Six weeks and counting....
Tomorrow I go back to the hospital for my third infusion of
abatacept
. After that I only have to go over every month. I am in such good form since I started this drug. Today I even signed up to be a volunteer to help out with functions in the city for the City of Culture 2013.

Abatacept.....what comes after....
Anyhow he reassured me that there is indeed something after
Abatacept
if I run true to form and reject this drug too. Now don't ask me the name of the drugs as to be honest I just wanted to know that there was something!

Tocilizumab or abatacept
My rheumy is giving me a choice of tocilizumab or
abatacept
. Just wondered what everyone's views of them are. Xx
