Abatacept and coming off prednisolone
Also is anyone else on
Abatacept
and roughly how long did it take for them to work? I know they’re both open ended questions but just as a guide. Thank you x

When to restart Biologics after Covid Infection
Should have injected
Abatacept
at the weekend but obviously didn’t! Just wondering what people have been advised re timing of restarting biologics after Covid infection and Antiviral treatment? Is it the usual post infection rule of “when you feel better”?

ra associated eye ulcers
I’m into my second month of
abatacept
injections which don’t seem to be helping yet. I was off all medication for 3 months after open heart surgery in the summer caused by a toxic reaction to leflunomide which had seriously worsened my congenital bicuspid aortic valve .

In hospital again
I started
abatacept
. A few days before I felt a bit fluey, I mentioned to the nurse when she demonstrated the injection but she didn't seem concerned. Next week feeling a bit worse but variable then one day felt awful. This pattern continued.

Travelling with Injections
I am on an
Abatacept
Orencia injection and I was just looking for some advice. Due to the injection being weekly I will have around 20/24 pens to dispose of.

Is it okay to use arnica?
I have rheumatoid arthritis and take hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate and the biologic
abatacept
. I have been seeing a physiotherapist recently and she suggested using arnica cream for muscles aches, which you rub on the skin. (She also mentioned tiger balm, which I hadn't heard of).

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.

GCA relapse?
I’m already on methotrexate and
Abatacept
. I guess I am worried about effects of long term steroids vs GCA. Does anyone else worry about this? does it sound like a relapse? My crp has been normal throughout this whole process so I can’t follow that … I did have a positive biopsy.

Advice on Abatacept
Have to make a decision between 2 drugs,
Abatacept
or Tocilizumab, not sure what one to choose, does anyone know if
Abatacept
can be taken without Methotrexate, as l really don’t want to stay on MTX, l know the other one can, thanks for your help Kate .

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.
