Very lengthy but worth the read
Most recently, Bristol Meyers Squibb has funded a study to test the effectiveness of a new drug called
Abatacept
or Orencia. This is being given to patients with PBC who have not responded completely to URSO and remain at risk for progression of their disease.

EDINBURGH......I SURVIVED!
Anyhow I was in great form and almost pain free for two years due to the wonder drug
Abatacept
and so myself and two neighbours booked a C'mas city break to gorgeous Edinburgh. Unfortunately for me about 5/6 weeks ago the drug has stopped doing its magic for me and I am slowly sinking again.

LIFE SPAN OF BIO'S
Abatacept
is the last drug available to me......for now, I was told that. If I am at the end of the road with regards to thee most effective medication I can tolerate I really want to know about it.

Abatacept concerns
Supposed to be switching from rituximab to
abatacept
but just don't like the look of the risks involved. Has anyone gone backwards in their treatment regime like back to methotrexate from biologics? Thanks

bad cataracts at 46 ?? since being on abatacept and methotrexate injections for 2 years my eye sight is so bad- is it related ??
hello all, I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and have been on Methotrexate and
Abatacept
injections for 2 years and in that time my eye sight has deteriorated quite badly. Today I had an appointment at the opticians and was told I had bad cataracts in one eye and crystals in the other ??

Unable to drive!!!!
I have collected more joint damage in my hands and wrists in the past 11 weeks whilst waiting for
abatacept
to work. Not being able to drive is my worst nightmare. I have good grip with my left hand but my right hand grip is really poor. I have had hand surgery which was unsuccessful.

IS THERE ANYTHING AFTER ABATACEPT.......SIMPLE ANSWER IS 'NO'
"you have had all that there is available now"........that quote has been ringing in my head since i heard it yesterday......for now,
Abatacept
is the end of the line with regards to Bio's.

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.
