Hi. You said you were having the Orencia infusions for a year and a half? Why did you stop them. Did you have any side effects from it? I've had RA for 30 years or so and have tried many things. I used the self-injection Orencia for about 3 years and felt like it wasn't doing much good and then I read where the infusions worked better so I thought I'd try it. I've had 4 infusions and the last couple months I've felt sick. I imagine it to be like being poisoned. Feeling weak and not much appetite. Slight headaches too. Let me know if you've had any problems like this. I am scheduled to have knee replacement surgery done September 6th so would like to be feeling better soon.
