I'm due for my 2nd dose this Thursday, so I might as well wait till Friday until I speak w him. I'm currently not on any other medications, except Celebrex, and now prednisone for my flare. I noticed...
My doctor switched me to enbrel, but after 2 1/2 months discontinued it bc it wasn't working. I just took my first injection of orencia 5 days ago which seems to have set off a major flare of my RA....
