I was recently diagnosed with RA and after I finally got into a Rheumatologist the first medication he put me on was Methotrexate. Horrible diarrhea!!! I am now on Orencia infusions, so far so good. Although I am not sure what the long term goal is. I am still taking Prednisone and starting a 1mg taper per month. This is such a balancing act of finding something for relief and live with it.

@betsyhase - I am also on Orencia now for 49 mo. One infusion per month, I also have IPF (pulmonary fibrosis). May be on it for life - I’m 75.
I use Methylprednisone for only flairs which are few, then get back off. Orencia has been good to me - hope it is for you.
