Blood test

My rumey just rang me back and has given me the number to get a blood test. She says I can start leflumomide again to see how I am and to wait until I speak to the consultant I can start back on mtx. So fingers crossed I will get sorted pretty soon. I was so pleased she phoned me. Thanks for your support. X

Take at night with a glass of water not a few sips it tastes horrid. It worked so well for me for years. A few side effects that wore off but put my RA into remission.

I always have a glass off water beside my bed at night.

If you haven’t taken Leflunomide before do make sure you eat....I lost a huge amount of weight on it – it completely obliterated my appetite.

I would go from a slice of toast at breakfast & realise when I was going to bed I hadn’t eaten all day...but it does work well for a lot of people.
