I inject myself every week on Tuesdays but have found I have a couple of really 'slow'

Re: discussion on Paddison Program
Just this year I have tried
Orencia
and Actemra. Neither worked for me. Next the Dr. is recommending Rutuxin which is an intravenous medicine taken every 6 months. I am very nervous about this medicine. I have investigated many diet options but am already a vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free.

Anyone taking biologics like enbrel, humira, remicade or other drugs like
orencia
to treat another autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis or crohne's? If so, did your liver enzymes go down as well?

Very lengthy but worth the read
Orencia
is currently used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, where it has been approved by the FDA and shown to be safe and effective. In the study involving patients with PBC, the people that enter will receive six months of
Orencia
and be closely followed. Dr.

Info on orencia
Hi everyone, Is anyone on
orencia
and methotrexate? I am being switched from Enbrel to
orencia
and am a little frightened of this drug. It seems the older you are, taking this drug, the higher the chance of cancer.

How long does orencia (abatacept) take to work?
I've just done my 5th injection of
orencia
and my joints are still so swollen and painful. I think the drug is working a bit because I couldn't get out of bed a few weeks ago, I was sleeping all the time, that has improved.

Cimzia and Orencia
Me and my Dr. decided that I would start
Orencia
or Cimzia soon and I've been researching both. I was excited to try
Orencia
since I read somewhere that it might also help with Sjogren's syndrome.

I am about to start Orencia, anyone with experience of it? I would welcome your comments good or bad.
I am on mtx, about to beg. inj. also plaquenil, plus bits and bobs, I had a limited success with enbrel and rtx. and funding is just being applied for me to have
orencia
. It involves me travelling, an hour each way for infusions, but if it works well it will be worth it.
