"Orencia took about three months for the full benefit to kick in. Been on it for nine months now with great joint movement. Hope this keeps up - cost about six thousand a month, which insurance pays. Yes - I am fortunate."

"I have just had my second infusion of Orencia. The first go-around, I had a headache and fever and aches for that night and most of the next few days. After the second dose, I have severe aches and pains in all joints and muscles, and my skin hurts to touch it. Plus, I have a cold or something that just came on a day after the infusion. I am wondering if it is going to work for me or if I need to change. I was on Simponi Aria for a year and a half, and then it stopped working. My question is, are these symptoms considered bad, or something that I have to put up with and hope they go away and the Orencia starts working without these side effects?"

"40 yr old woman with psoriatic arthritis. I have already tried methotrexate (did not work), Humira (too much fog brain), Enbrel (worked great but my body developed immunity), and now I am on Orencia. Week 1, I noticed some slight belly ache as if I did 2,000 sit-ups. Week 2, it got slightly worse. Week 3, the pain in my upper left abdomen has gotten so bad it's hard to sleep. I also have some severe lower abdomen pain, so I am hoping this gets better soon. I was off medication for 4 weeks, which caused some serious flare-ups. Since I started Orencia, one of my major flares is slowly subsiding, while I have developed 2 new issues (knees & foot). Hoping after some time this gets better. PS- It was very nice they provided a co-pay card for the $1,000 out-of-pocket upon request."
