started in november 2007. I get about 2 or 3 weeks fairly good relief after each infusion. Awaiting FDA approval for Actemra.

Just finished the initial 3 infusions and now await the regularly scheduled 4 week infusion. At first I had some tightness in my throat and itching along with a runny nose. My rheumatologist wanted me to continue with it so now i am premedicated with iv Benadryl. This seems to help. It is too soon for me to tell if the Orencia is working and I look forward to hopeful results.
