I've been on every 4 week infusions of Abatacept for three years. Works better and longer for me than anything else I've been on. (Diagnosed about 6 years ago.) Added plus, I'm in the fusion center for less than an hour each time. Sometimes, I even feel better before I leave. Occasionally, I doesn't last the entire 4 weeks. But I can usually link that to one of my triggers. Wishing you good outcomes. :-)
