Orencia Treatment
I took my third Orencia treatment today. Why does all the "good" medicine make me feel so bad? I know the Dr. wants to try this and I guess I'm open to it. But gee whiz... I walk in the door feeling O.K. , not terrific, but able to make the drive and not nausous. Now after lunch and a nap, I feel like I've been run over by a truck. Weak, shaky, headache, and let's not forget, nausous. I just want to sit or better yet, sleep until it is all over. I wonder how long this time? The first Orencia, I felt sick about 1 1/2 days. The second dose, I was ill for 4 1/2 days. Now this one? A whole week? IT is just such a double whammy. First a chronic disease, RA, that ruins my life and then medication that makes things even worse.I'll be more upbeat later. Just as much as I prepare mentally for feeling bad, I'm never really ready.
