On it for almost two years, but have missed 10 months with 2 colds. So this is the third time I'm starting up. The first time I felt improvement in the first month. This time in three months, I still wasn't well at all, and Iwas having symptoms I hadn't had in years. My energy level was zero. then three weeks into the 4th month, I felt renewed. You know the feeling. You go on with your day and suddenly realize your bending, or doing something without the usual pain.

helps fatigue, not so helpful with pain reduction. Started with weekly injections, now on monthly infusions.

LOVED IT! Worked very well for me and was devastated when my new Medicare insurance denied authorization for it! BUMMER!

been on the self injection for 6 weeks. Have had some relief as of the 5th week
After 6 treatments, it finally kicked in. No weight gain, or side effects so far. I was so scared at first, never having an infusion before, but after trying 4 other type treatments and them not working, I was out of options and getting low on hope. I take this with 8 methotrexate. I feel human again, Thanks orencia!

Currently trying, not sure if its going to work?

  5. Discussion: Orencia vs. Humira
    I've been on both but neither worked for me. I would chose the Humira over the Orencia. That's me. I've seen others with success on the Orencia. [More]
