12 days I've had diarrhea now. Lost 8lb in weight (great but not this way). Done a stool test, one for some bacterial thing is negative, waiting on the rest. GP and Rheumy nurse are pretty sure it's from the Leflunomide I took for only 2 weeks and 5 days. Phone appointment with RA consultant is Wednesday morning not a f 2 f as I thought but good job really. Be interesting to see what she says! I wonder how long this tummy problem will go on...
Well it happened...2 weeks of 10mg of Leflunomide and nurse rang and said my inflammatory marker was up. Take 20mg she said. So for 2 days I did. Yep I got terrible upset tum with diarrhea. Rang nurse on friday she said stop taking it and because of past problems I shouldn't have been told to double the dose 🙄 I was itching a over too. Ive had diarrhea now for a week. Has anyone else had this and how long did the diarrhea last after stopping the Leflunomide?
She also got me an urgent appointment with my consultant and I go next Wednesday.
