"I started Orencia four weeks ago after Humira and Enbrel did nothing for me. I'm taking it with methotrexate. I get hit with nausea and diarrhea for like a day or two after my dose. I've had a flare for the past two months now, and I really need this stuff to start working."

"Orencia worked a little, maybe taking the pain down from 8 to 6, but it did not get rid of the sacroiliac joint (SI) joint pain I had ever, so I went on to try another medicine from my rheumatologist."
