Abatacept / Orencia | Arthritis Information

I'm new here and came across this forum by accident - but lots of very interesting information.

Just wondering what experiences others have had with Orencia?

I have had RA for nearly two years now and more recently been on a trial with Orencia now for nearly a year with good results.  The one thing I've learnt with RA is that the condition and results of medications varies a lot between individuals.  What may be right for one person, may not necessarily suit another. 

I was pleased with the results I was getting with Orencia, but have heard lately that many people find the benefits of Biological DMARD's can 'wear off' after a number of years. 

Just interested in other peoples opinions
Thx  :-)
I just started Orencia.  I had my second infusion today and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!  I have been diagnosed for 2 and 1/2 years and it has made an amazing difference in my life.  I have also heard that biologics can "wear off" for some people--I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens.  Glad you found this forum--it has been a great place for me to get information.
