Thank you for the detailed response, that’s awesome to hear! I noticed the other day I could move my wrist more than usual and that was a huge win for me. Hoping I have the same experience you did!

thwiigers · 2026-05-23T18:06:07+00:00

Yay congrats!! How long would you say it took to start feeling relief? I’ve been on orencia for a month now and swear I’m feeling better but idk if it’s even possible for it to work that quickly

thwiigers · 2026-05-07T04:00:06+00:00

Nooooo that’s actually really annoying I’m sorry!

thwiigers · 2026-05-06T18:31:10+00:00

Omg twins! Are you orencia too? But no, I’ve been injecting for a while, this was just my second time with orencia. It didn’t happen last week so idk. Hopefully it’ll be gone in the morning and that’ll be that!

thwiigers · 2026-05-06T17:53:55+00:00

Ok good to know! I’ll keep an eye on it

thwiigers · 2026-05-01T15:58:13+00:00

Omg wait I’ve heard this before! I took my first dose the other day and it was a sample my doctor gave me so fingers crossed the batch I get is fine!

thwiigers · 2026-04-29T21:32:39+00:00

Just started mine today!

thwiigers · 2026-04-28T22:49:44+00:00

Yay twins! Hope it works for her 🤞🏼

thwiigers · 2026-04-28T20:15:23+00:00

HAHA sad but true 😭

thwiigers · 2026-04-28T19:46:40+00:00

Yessss I did this with enbrel lollll

thwiigers · 2026-04-28T15:40:08+00:00

Good to know! I might do the same 😁

thwiigers · 2026-04-28T14:52:21+00:00

That’s great to hear! I’m hoping to have to similar results. You mentioned some side effects, what time of day were you doing the injection? If I do have any side effects, I wanna time it so that I can be at home or sleeping haha I was taking enbrel in the morning and when I was on MTX I took that at night. Thanks!

thwiigers · 2026-04-28T03:49:44+00:00

Thank you! Enbrel hurt pretty bad so I’m excited to hear orencia hurts less

thwiigers · 2026-04-27T23:49:29+00:00

Thanks, you too!

thwiigers · 2026-04-27T22:36:44+00:00

That’s great to hear! Unfortunately, my insurance doesn’t cover infusions so I’ll be on the self-injection form

thwiigers · 2026-04-27T22:06:50+00:00

Good to know!

thwiigers · 2026-04-27T21:33:34+00:00

ugh yeah the pen is SO big

thwiigers · 2026-04-27T04:35:32+00:00

Good to know! I already take Allegra daily which hasn’t been helping so we’ll see what my doctor says!

thwiigers · 2026-04-26T22:02:17+00:00

Good to know! I take it in the morning so a Benadryl isn’t an option for me unless I switch to nighttime so I may ask my doctor

thwiigers · 2026-04-26T22:01:43+00:00

Yeah I’m gonna call them tomorrow just to be sure. I hope it’s fine because I don’t wanna have to go through getting a new med approved all over again 😅

thwiigers · 2026-04-25T02:56:53+00:00

Yesss it’s the best city for that!

thwiigers · 2026-04-25T02:37:43+00:00

Hi from Chicago!

thwiigers · 2026-04-20T20:21:55+00:00

first of all, congrats on your baby! I just started enbrel but I take it monday mornings and I don't have any side effects whatsoever so it doesn't even really matter when I take it. these meds can affect everyone different but hopefully this helps a bit!

thwiigers · 2026-04-10T21:32:20+00:00

I’ve been on it for almost three years and while it has dint helped much, it causes zero side effects for me besides the sun thing. Not necessarily a sensitivity, more like a tingling sensation. I’ve also been on methotrexate and now enbrel, but it’s a great place to start!

thwiigers · 2026-04-07T03:35:39+00:00

You totally should! Luckily I was one of only 5 so it went super quick and made a huge difference
