Flare post COVID
I was put on
orencia
and everything was improving and then I got COVID. Two weeks after COVID I'm having shitty time with my joints. They easily flare - like if I clean I'm out with pain in my hands the next day. Steroids got increased.

Abatercept (Orencia)

After months of taking Idacio, my consultant has decided to switch my biologic to
Orencia
under the brand name of Abatacept. I have no scooby what this biologic is like except that I can not take it out of the fridge for more than 30 minutes.

Covid Vaccination Group 4 or 6?
I take both methotrexate and inject the biologic abatacept (
Orencia
) each week for my rheumatoid arthritis. In the first lockdown I was classed as clinically extremely vulnerable and told to shield.
