Amie,

I've been on Orencia infusions for about 6 months. It has very little side effects and I feel human within 2 days after the infusion. I get my infusion at the end of every month, I feel some extra fatigue for that day and a little bit of the next, but after that I feel like a normal 20 year old. It does not make me nauseated or lose hair or anything like that. I have heard some of the ladies get headaches during the infusion itself but that a simple headache medicine prior to the infusion would remedy that. I tried everything else that was possible for me to try and none of them work. Orencia is the only thing that has brought me relief. I hope it helps you too. it might not help a lot on the first one, but after two or three, you should be feeling prime if its going to help you. Good luck!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE, I KNOW LITTLE TO NOTHING OF THE EFFECTS OF THIS MEDICINE, AND YOUR HELP MAKES ME GO IN , WITH NO FEAR. I APPRECIATE IT.... THAT'S WHY I JOINED HERE TO GET HELP ABOUT THE UNKNOWN, I'VE HAD THIS FOR 8 YEARS NOW, WAY TOO LONG...... I'M HOPING THE ORENICA WILL HELP. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED! THANKS, IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP LET ME KNOW..... I'M GLAD THE ORENICA IS WORKING FOR YOU!

I wonder how long you have been on the Orencia Soontobe...?

I've been on the Orencia for about 1 year.

correction, make that a year and 4 months.
