Orencia
Hi, tomorrow my orencia will be delivered. I will be starting it when it arrives. I have done injections with Enbrel and Humira, but I am wondering if there any tips anyone has. I’m pretty nervous about starting a new med. I’m hoping it goes smoothly and side effects are minimal.
So this. I am NO doctor. However - Remicade, Actemra, Orencia are all Biologics. They do the same thing via a different pathway. Again i am no DR...But- I have been on all three of them. All three of them are Dr.office IV infusions. NOT an injection at home. Only Humaria and EnBrel are self injections at home. Orencia could be IV'ed [ Dr.off.] every 50 or 60 or 90 days. As it turned out,, for me,, Remicade worked best for me. I am now on Humaria which is now called Hyrimoz. Same drug new name. If you have already taken Humaria and saw no improvement - these class of meds need months to work effectively. And saw no help....then,,, i cannot say what Orencia or Actemra will do for you. My best MED is Huemira,, Hyrimoz.
Good Luck.
It's always so nerve racking to start a new med and especially a biologic. Good luck and I I hope there are little to no side effects! 🤞🙏❤️

Hello so I am going to be starting on Orencia when the pharmacy gets ahold of me. I started the Humaria and it did not work. I have been on large doses of steroids because all this inflammation which is making my life very difficult. I am interested if you have any info on the Orencia that may help me. They also asked me if I wanted a certain injection because what there are 2 kinds? Thank you in advance for any information that may be helpful. Have a nice day.!
