My Dr, has set up a time this Thursday for infusion of Orencia the new drug on the market for helping RA.  I'm really scared.  The last infusion I took was Remicade and it start effecting my liver.  Anyone been on it more that 6 months.  Please answer quick. 

Wishing you good luck!!

Come back and join us on a regular basis. We've got a great group here that I think you'd find very helpful in the future. We'd love for you to share your new experience with Ocrenica as well.

Hello "2smart!"

This is not a "quick" answer.  I have had to be away from the board.

I have not used "Orencia."  However, my doctors currently have it under consideration for future use.  I have not had the time to "research" it yet.

Have you been able to express your reservations to your doc?

Do you know why your doc has chosen this option?

Is this treatment considered an "emergency" type of treatment, where doc thinks you must do this right away, before you have time to "consider" it more?

Please do join us!  Lovie is wonderful, as are so many others here!  We will al do our best to try to help support you and to share info. with you!

Hope to see you around!

Blessings!Welcome, Y2S - I don't know anyone who is on Orencia, either, but we've all had to take a new and scary drug, so we have some idea what you're going through. Please do keep us posted. This is a great place to get support.
