Today marks a day I didn’t think would ever happen in my treatment plan. This morning, I took my usual Orencia, but today is exactly 6 months since I started it, and it’s continuing to work. All my previous meds worked for a month to 2 months tops…and never terribly well to begin with. Being where I am right now seemed like my Everest—an impossible ask for my body from a medication. But here I am.

I don’t know how long Orencia will continue working for me, but am so grateful it’s given me relief for half a year. It’s the best half a year my body’s had in many, many years. Just wanted to share my gratitude for what it’s given me to this wonderful group of people.
