Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Can you tell me why you left Orencia and what then did you go to? Thanks, [ ] Re: Aftereffects of Orencia treatment I did Orencia for almost a year. And had less side effects than I did with Remicade. My chief complaint was a headache. Other than that, it is relly a simple infusion. I appreciate your apprehension. But I hope that you will pleasantly surprised.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've been on mtx for 9 years now, Remicade for a year, now off that, so I'll be giving the Orencia a try. mary [ ] Re: Aftereffects of Orencia treatment I have done Humira, Enbrel, Remicade and Orencia. All of these worked for about a year for me then stopped. I am not currently on any meds. I stopped everything. Just got tired of all of the side effects. Of course that has not helped my condition. And they cannot figure out why I only respond for short periods of time. I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis this week. It is secondary to a primary autoimmune condition. Which in my case is RA. So until I see a hepatologist and get a liver biopsy I cannot go back on a treatment regimen. So until then I take my Darvocet to ease the pain. But the Orencia has fewer side effects than some of the other treatments I tried. I will tell you it also works a little slower than some of the others.
