Actemra or Orencia?

I’m trying to decide the next route for my meds (cause remicade is doing absolutely nothing for me now). My doctor gave me a choice between these two. I’m leaning towards orencia but I thought if anyone out in the tumblrverse has had any experience with these meds…let me know what you think! I’ve read a lot of info online but firsthand experience is always the best! Just wanna know what I’m getting myself into. Haha

also

it’s insane how linked my arthritis/health is to my stress level.

basically, i’m stressed as fuck=my arthritis flares up to an astronomically high level. fuckin’ baseball sized wrists that won’t stop hurting, even after pain meds. hips that won’t let me sit cross legged, but knees that lock and hurt when i have my legs straight. all of this is kind of inconvenient when you’re typing an essay while you sit on the floor outside your dorm room. at least i have my right wrist brace…wish i didn’t lose the left one hella days ago. :/  

 oh well, it happens.
