Hello and welcome!

I'm sorry about your husband. How are you today?  I have AU, too.

Merry,

Thank you so much for replying and letting me know how things are going with the Orencia. It's great to hear that you're seeing improvement! It also gives me some hope. I went to NY in July to sign up for the AA Registry and I spoke with the investigators there - they sounded pretty optimistic about Orencia. They also said that they'll be starting a trial for a promising new topical.

I am so sorry to read about your struggles. My thoughts are prayers are with you on this journey and I wish us both the best in our quest. Please let me know how you do with the Orencia. Best of luck to you too!
