I have been on Orencia just coming on 2 yrs nxt mo. In that time I had 2 flare ups in 1st year however short dose of Methylprednisone took care of it. I feel blessed no side effects ever and have been pain free so far.
I have read some others found after period of time it stopped working and had to change. My Dr stated she has a few others to hop to, if that should happen.

Thank you for replying ! .. I have been on Orencia for a year now, but still have problems with my left hip .. yes we have a plan when I go into a flare .. I take prednisone and florinef for life because I have Addison's disease .. but the prednisone is bumped up for the flare. I just have a hard time distinguishing a flare from a few bad days .. it can become so complicated I just don't know what to do. I get one disease almost sorted out and then another starts raging.
Exhaustion is really interfering with my thought process .. so I feel like an idiot a lot of the time!LOL
