Thanks to all those who replied to my earlier post re SACROILIAC pain and LEFLUNOMIDE side effects.. I am glad to report my back has healed and I have stopped the leflunomide. RA nurse said my back pain is NOT related to RA but was sympathetic and agreed I should stop leflunomide. I am still having side effects like nausea, loss of appetite and diahorrea but hopefully these will diminish as time goes on. Looking forward to a short sun break in Costa Del Sol this week so perhaps a big dose of sunshine will be just what the doctor ordered. Thanks again to all who replied.
