Hi, welcome to this forum. I see that many have dropped by here but non have offered
help. May I suggest that you write a new thread and title it "Orencia help wanted". That way you will narrow your audience and find the help you need. 
I guess that you love to paint from your "name". You are in good company. The famous Renoir had severe rheumatiod. Unfortunately for him there was no relief, and yet he was able to produce masterpieces with so much soul. What an inspiration. 
You can read about him

These biological drugs are having great results. I am on rituximab that is given as an infusion only every 6 months. I've been on it for a year and have just had my 2nd lot of infusions. I have gained strength and easier movement with this drug.
Good Luck
Debbie
