Leflunomide not working

Hi

I was formally diagnosed with RA about a year ago and started treatment with Plaquenil which resulted in a rash so switched to Humira with only fair results. Moved over to Xeljanz but I am no longer eligible for any assistance so had to stop due to the price. I recently switched to Leflunomide with very little relief and I don't know where to go from here.

If what you have is RA then you probably aren't in the best place here - we all have either PMR or GCA and leflunomide and other DMARDs are only used in the hope of allowing patients to manage with a lower dose of prednisolone which is the only answer to our pain and symptoms.

Sorry - maybe try healthunlocked.com/nras
