Uncertain about medication path.

Hello. Orencia was an effective drug for me and I was on it for several years. Once you are diagnosed with RA and start the symptoms and the disease becomes active all damage in your joints will be permanent!! Plus I don’t want to live in pain all my life. Have you had a bad flare yet? I have and the pain is excruciating. So I take my meds to keep from crippling and to live a life as comfortable as possible. That’s my experience with Orencia. I only got off of it when it stopped working for me. Hope this helps in some way.

To answer your question, have I had a bad flare? No, I am still just trying to find a medication I can tolerate. I seem to be tolerating Orencia but dislike having to be tied to infusions. I know there is a self administered injection once a week available. I guess right now I am muddleing through but seem ok for now.
Question, did you go on an anti-inflammatory diet?

Yes, it's helpful to hear others experiences. I am still in early stages of diagnosis and treatment. I am still just trying to find my way to live a more functional life.
