My Orencia Story

[awesomeman]

Just started Orencia.  I chose the weekly injection over the infusion.  I just prefer the shorter half life in my body.  Injection was no biggie.  So far I feel absolutely nothing which is kind of good since most of the stuff makes me feel worse.  I'll chime in with more input on how this plays out.  But has anyone else done Orencia.  I know its more for PA, but just curious your thoughts.
Thanks

Anything new ? I am curious because they want to put my brother on Orencia.

Just did my second dose.  Its still early but at least Im not feeling any negative effects.  Im just having issues with insurance.  Time for appeal.

Hope you manage to get the orencia funded by your insurance, great news there's no negative effects, hopefully there will be positive effects soon

Hope you get good results.

Insurance is a pain so good luck with that as well!

Fourth injection in.  Im noticing Im getting headaches a lot more.  Not sure if its from the Orencia though, so I place the blame there just yet.  Other than that....No gain no downside.

Thanks for the update ...I hope the headaches aren't linked to the drug ...if they persist and you don't usually suffer with headaches, it would be worth mentioning to your doctor

I notice your profile still says Cosentyx not orencia ..if you have time perhaps you can change that in your control panel Edit
