I took the Rituxin infusion for my RA but this medicine is the BOMB! I helps keep the inflamation down and i have more normal days. The only thing i don't like about it is the back pain.

  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]
