Hey I was taking methotrexate until they increased my dosage & I started experiencing shortness of breath. I have only been on prednisone 5mg & folic acid 1mg. My doctor & I just decided I will start on leflunomide 10mg. I received the prescription but I'm scared to take it. I know I have to, but I'm nervous Any suggestions to ease my mind?

Hi I have been on Leflunomide 20 mg a day for the past two year without any bad side effects. I was also on sulfasalazine until my consultant took me off them at the beginning of this month. As my PsA is in remission. Take care xxx
