Suggest Alternative To Orencia For Stiffness And Pain In The Fingers
I m wondering if there are different brands of Orencia. I used to get my infusion at the hospital, but they no longer do it so I go to a clinic. My infusion in April was the first at the clinic and I feel it did not work. I m hoping it is just the bad weather here in New England. I am stiff and achy and tired. My fingers get stuck. I ve never felt like this in such a short period of time after a treatment. I go every 8 weeks. I started at once a month.

DEAR
ORENCIA IS GIVEN FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHITIS.
ITS NOT THE DRUG BUT THE DISEASE ITSELF WHICH IS CAUSING STIFFNESS IN FINGERS AND JOINT.
IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH DRUG TELL YOUR RHEUMATOLOGIST TO CONSIDER CHANGING DRUGS.
DON'T STOP THE DRUG AND CONSIDER CONSULTING RHEUMATOLOGIST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
