7 Questions to Ask Your Rheumatologist If You’re Nervous About Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine
These medications include: Methotrexate JAK inhibitors (ex: Xeljanz, Olumiant, Rinvoq) Abatacept (
Orencia
), injectable or IV form Rituximab (Rituxan) Cyclophosphamide infusion Even if your doctor decides you should not taper off any of these medications, it’s still worth it to get the vaccine.

What to Know About Getting the Second COVID-19 Vaccine Dose If You’re Immunocompromised or Have an Autoimmune Condition
They also made other recommendations about timing when you get the COVID-19 vaccine in the course of treatment with biologics rituximab (Rituxan) and abatacept (
Orencia
). However, the guidance says that patients should not stop taking most medications before or after getting the vaccine.

Need some advice: Switching Biologics
I have had reoccurring flares since then, but now I'm on a 15-day streak of being relatively pain-free, this is the longest I've gone and I'm so thankful and enjoy feeling somewhat back to normal but unfortunately, my rheumatologist wants to switch me from Humira to
Orencia
because she is concerned that

I was wondering if you could help
I was then put on Bariicitinib-Olumiant, this made me feel very unwell so they then tried
Orencia
injections. That hasn’t worked either so now I’ve been given a script for Humira injections. I know all our R.A medications are scary, but for some reason this one has me a little cautious.

Feeling awful update
Plus
Orencia
injections weekly along with the imuran. Gabapentin for neuropathy. Still waiting for insurance approval for acthar gel injections. Never been on that before it’s supposed to help with pain and inflammation.

New on Orencia, side effects
Hi, 6 days ago I had an infusion of
Orencia
as well as an injection to start me off. I'm experiencing some nausea, some headaches, and some flushing and sweats. I see that these are possible side effects, but does anyone know if they might go away?

Reflux
I am on
orencia
and inject max dosage of methotrexate weekly. Not to mention on the prednisone (which I’ve been on for years). My sed rate is rising again it was 64 now it’s back up to 78 and vectra score is also rising again. After saying all of that I have reflux and take omeprazole for that.

Thrush on Orencia
Now I'm taking
Orencia
ClickJet. After a month I got oral thrush. Doc said to stop for a week gave rx for nystatin to get rid of the thrush, which is not listed as a side effect. Has anyone else had thrush while taking
Orencia
or any other biological?

New Biologic
I am just not sure if I want to try another biologic, I have been on so many and they have helped some for an example on
Orencia
I could close my hands,of course it would wear off before the next infusion. There are so many side effects and the relief is so short term.
