Doctor says I should keep trying for another 3 months... Anyone else have the same reactions? I've had R/A for 22 years....

I've been using this medication since it was first released. I also take Mobic and methotraxate injections once a week (easier than pills/less side effects). It has helped me get back to my hobbies and a more normal life.

Pain is not controlled. Program is underdeveloped. Using the in home care infusion program and they don't show up, or call. The medicine is having so far about a 68% success rate with all joints but wrists and elbows. Wouldn't advise starting the program until they are able to accomodate the patients they currently have.

At the moment it has been doing the job of subsiding inflamtion but the painnot so well anymore. i am afraid that something else will have to be used to ease the pain besides inflamation.

I have tried Humira and Remicade and had to stop due to bad reactions. So far Orencia has been terrific, just hope my body doesn't reject it later too. I have energy and little to no joint pain. I have been receiving the IV's for less than 1 year.
