Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hello Everyone! I don't get back here much anymore to post or to read, I am taking care of 3 of my 7 grandchildren while my daughter attends Dental Hygeine School. Wanted to let everyone know that I have been on Abatacept/Orencia infusions for 6 weeks now and I think they are beginning to work. About 3 weeks ago I noticed a difference in swelling and pain. I will have my third infusion next Friday and am sort of excited because I am tired of hurting and not able to move around to well. They have told me I am the first one in the area to try it so they want to know how it is working ( my doctor and Homecare IV). For those who don't have an idea who I am here goes. I am 55 almost 56 (wow that is scary). I have had RA for 19 years and my Rhuemy thinks I may have Fiber Myalgia (sp?). Until recently I have had no damage but have been showing more, but luckily for me not much. I have tried all the RA meds and the one that worked the best was Methotrexate, but had a lung problem with it, that was after being on it for a while. Anyway I hope that what I am thinking is right that the new one is working. I live in Central Oregon and am staying with my daughter in Eastern Oregon. Catch ya later, in Central Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
