Currently having it infused every 4 weeks. I have no side affects or problems with it. However, I find that it begins to wear off after 3 weeks.

Had severe headaches from CNS vasculitis, it also caused confusion. Orencia stopped this. I am also off all prednisone thanks to Orencia

getting ready to try this since nothing else is really getting my RA under control.

My first injection I had an allergic reaction, but the office said it wasn't common. Their office actually studied the medication for 5 years before its release. Now I take antihistamines beforehand and I've been doing great with the injection, and it doesn't burn like the others. It took about 3-1/2 months to start seeing results, but some of my inflammation has subsided, along with some nodules I had forming. So sticking with this one for a while, I hope. Still on Methotrexate.
