Hi @gazrobbo
We don't get many discussions here about Abatacept so I popped it into the search engine at the top of the page and got a good list back. A quick look through gave me the usual mixed bag you get with medications. Good for some not so good for others as I'm sure you can imagine.
Do have a read through the search is on the black part of this page to the left of the little bell.
Maybe - I hope this isn't too pushy - you would be happy to post your experience for future use by others who are offered it?
Just in case you haven't already seen this:
I wish you the very best of luck.
Ellen.

Been on abatacept for six weeks now, seems to be working, but will not know properly until I've stopped taking my prednisone with it. Had a few headaches but not bad ones, also seems to make me more tired easily, but pain not as bad. Will update when finished taking my prednisone.
