My mother has severe arthritis, we have tried various treatments such as Rituxan, Remicade, and Orencia and finally Actemra offered her some relief. However, recently the doctor my mother had been seeing retired, a new doctor took his place. The new doctor said that medi-cal would not pay for Actemra and was thus unwilling to administer it. We contacted medi-cal and the person on the phone said she would investigate whether or not medi-cal would pay for Actemra. Its been 2 days and we still h

My first treatment was today and I'm not scheduled for another one until a month later.

Have had Rheumatoid Arithis for 9 years...Remicade was wonderful - after 3-l/2, it quit working. Orencia did zip. Due to start Humira, but holding off, as turmeric, ginger and walnuts have been helping.

If so would it be before or after the infusion?

Especially in people with heart conditions

Sister starting Orencia treatments soon for arthritis. She asked me to find out if it was "like chemotherapy", which seemed like a strange question, but hey, this is Yahoo Answers right Lol, well, hopefully a stray doctor out there can elaborate!

I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was 4 years old. I have been given many different pills, injections, infusions, and physical treatments since then and no positive results. After switching off my most recent base-medicine, Enbrel, which left me feeling nauseous, fatigued, and left massive red welts on the injection site, I was put on Orencia (meant for adult patients, but would treat my chronic JRA), which I have been quite fine with. An already existing link between O

if a person has a compromised immune system/ rheumatoid arthritis,lupus people taking methotrexate or orencia is it safe and beneficial for them to receive the flu shot.

5 years ago I was diagnosed with advanced rheumatoid arthritis. At the time I was under the care of a total quack !!! He treated me strictly with 3 medicines only. 1). high doses of steroids 2). vicodin 3). asprin Yup , after a year of suffering thinking he knew his stuff I ended up in the emergency room unable to walk any more and huge lumpy nodules growing near all my joint. It looked like I had 3 elbows on one arm at one point. I was only 43 at the time and I felt like the elephant man. Ev

I know a medicare advantage plan requires me to pay a 20% co-pay for drugs covered under part b medicines. But I understand that if I have basic medicare along with a medigap policy (either plan f or J), it will take care of all the part b meds. Do you know if i will need to pay a co-pay? I asked the medical billing department at me doctor's office but she was really hesitant to tell me. Oh, in case it matters: it is Orencia -- infusions for rheumatoid arthritis -- my doctor's office does

Orencia is saying this drugs falls under medicare's Part B drugs. But the Part D plan i'm looking at says it's a tier 4 drug. I am trying to find out what i'm going to have to pay. Someone says their doctor's nurse gives him his infusion and it's all covered by medicare. Another person says they have to pay 33% co-pay. That's a huge difference since this drug costs $1600/month! Anybody's knowledge/experience with this drug would be greatly appreciated.

my mother just started and i want to know if it has worked for anyone...any side effects?

We know the black-box warnings on drugs like Humira or Orencia that often used to fight advanced RA. The warnings say something about serious infections, blood disorders, and in a few cases, cancers like lymphoma, that may happen with this those drugs. This is because this class of drugs are immunosuppresives, so is it, I guess, extremely important to do things like ingest 2000 mg of Vitamin C and 8 glasses of orange juice every day to compensate for this immunosuppresive activity.

my Dr recomendet taking Remicade, i took Orencia for about thrre months, and besides the side,effects i also had to go the hospial two times with pneumomia.I have cronic lung problems, and now he wants me to take remicade, i did some reserch, and it is worse than Orencia, what in gods name should i do, I think the Dr dont read up on those powerful medications, the just give them to you, because of the money.because the make big profits on them , am i wrong

I'm 29...with Rhuematoid Arthritis and Lupus. I was a healthy athletic person until the age of 25. I just woke up one morning with a lot of pain in my neck and back and flu like symptoms. I assumed the neck and back pain was from a horse accident in 1996(landed on my head)...I did the Hunter Jumper stuff age 6 to 23. I had been seeing chiropractors since then and assumed that was what was wrong with me. I saw a doctor after my problem had gotten worse over the course of a year. I had horrible

I am currently unsatisfied with my treatment. I am taking hydroxychloriquine & asulfasalizine [spelling is most definately wrong]. I was hopeful when I saw an ad for Orencia, however it is not yet covered under my health plan. I am looking for suggestions for treatments that have worked for other RA sufferers.

Innate immunity regulates the adaptice immune system. Dendric cells (DC) must express both antigen fragment and a co-receptor called B7 to T cells. If a receptor called CD28 is linked to B7, then the T cell is activated. However if a second group of receptors on the T cell called CTLA-4 binds B7, then the T cell is inactivated. A new drug called abatacept or Orencia was recently approved for the treatment of rhumatoid arthritis. The drug is a fragment of CTLA-4 linked to a fragment of an andib
