After a bad anaphylactic reaction at my last infusion, I am going from Inflectra to Orencia. Rheum said no more TNF inhibitors, and that is most of what I have been on for biologics, save for a short while where I was on Rinvoq.

Has anyone noticed any discernible differences between the two? I know it will be a much shorter infusion, which I am looking forward to.

Thanks!

Everything is a symptom. Doesn't matter what it is, somehow it always boils back down to "ur just nuts." It feels like my existence is filtered through a lens of mental illness before humanity & personhood are even a consideration.

I don't understand why I continue bothering to share my internal experience if it is discounted immediately regardless... If I am seen as an unreliable narrator, why even ask me? Why do I answer?

Truly wish that our society didn't debase those with mental health struggles in the ways that they do. I am tired, man. I just want to be seen as a person.
