Hi all, was wondering if any of you on orenica have been getting physically sick, have noticed in the last 2 months I am sick to my stomach about 2 times a week, hits, gets sick, feel better. sould I be concerned, was actually was going to call my rhumy and ask him, thought I would try here first to see if it just me or I am reacting to these meds, hope not, there in nothing left for me to try, out of things to try. Thanks, your thougts will be helpfull.

" Jean, I just had my first Orencia infusion last Tuesday so I am really too new to the drug to answer your question but so far no tummy aches.

Good luck. "

" Are you taking anything other than Orencia that could be interacting with it?

" I was on Orencia for two years IV then all of a sudden, it stopped working for me. I have been through several biologics and Dmards. I am like Lin, I have an iron clad stomach. I would let the Rheumatologist know if I were you. "

" Hi Jean,
I have been on Orencia infusion since March. There was only a couple of days where I didn't get hungry at all, but no true stomach issues.
I sure hope it is not the Orencia that is making you ill. It has been wonderful for me.
But always call your Dr. when there is a chance that your meds are making you ill. Hope you feel better soon.

Hugs,
Jan "

" sometimes my stomach is "iffy" with Orencia - more when I was on infusions/less since I'm doing weekly injections. Not "sick, sick" but just "not quite right"
I do get wicked headaches though "
