Too Soon To Tell
I started the Orencia in April 2007 and then moved to California. Insurance wouldn't approve it so I didn't get back on it until March 2008. I have had one bout of pneumonia from it and sinus infections. I missed my July and August infusions. I just had my September infusion and am hoping it works.
Too Soon To Tell
First infusion had a little more energy. Just had my second yesterday.

I have been in a trial for this drug for Crohn's. I am hoping that it works but it is too soon to tell.
