Switching from Orencia to Remicade | Arthritis Information

I got a call from my insurance I have a case manager that calls to check on me so she calls and said hey see you are apporoved for Remicade. I said oh news to me because my Dr. office has not called to let me know. Thats funny. Well anyways it got approved right away and the Dr. could have held off for a treatment of remacade but guess he wanted that orencia payment one last time. So now I took a medicine that is no longer working and I have to wait a month for the new stuff.... Ok makes sense to me. Oh well at least I get to try something new to get me out of this 9 month old flare.. looking forward to some relief. Anyone else switch remicade? I hope everyone has a great day.. LauraI hope the Remicade works for you. Remicade has worked well for me, much better than Humira.

 
I hope the month goes by fast for you. Let us know how it goes!
Dont think it a case of wanting the orencia payment.  remicade can be double the cost of orencia depending on dosage.  Mine is ,000 per month, thats on a dosage of 800 for a 200lb man on a 4 week schedule.
