Strange Pains with RA medication?
Lately I have been experiencing these random sharp pains all over my body at random times during the day. I take Arava for my RA. My wrists hurt and it was working like a charm and now suddenly it doesn't work well. I thought these random pains which are like sharp nerve pains were weird and are getting

Flu - Metrotrexate and Arava
Since Jun 2014 after I was diagnosed RA, this is the second time I had flu during my holiday in China. I had fever but I did not see any doctor there, I merely had the panadol to control my fever. I came back home and had my appointment to see my rheumy 2 days ago, I had no further fever but I still

ARAVA
Hey guys! This morning I went to see my rheumy. After 2 months of MTX 20 mg which made a lot of bruises appear on my legs without reason and no improvement in joint pain/stiffness, she decided to switch treatment to ARAVA. I've been told that Arava isn't as toxic as MTX, but I read on the internet that

Feeling lost
I’m not one to reach out like this, so this is really difficult. Diagnosed with RA a couple of years ago during a 4 year bout with PMR that began Jan 2015. Was on prednisone for 2.5 years for the PMR. Have since tried Methotrexate (gave me severe mouth sores and hair loss); then Plaquenil (caused

ARAVA... Help!
Started Arava. 3 weeks in. Went off prednisone. I am shuffling and have poor cognitive functioning!!!! Did not have this. I have had episodes in the past that last a day or so but NONE the likes of this one! I feel like a space cadet and I have shuffling like and a mild tenor. I stopped the drug.

Advice for Rituxan plus adding Arava?
Ok, I could use a little advice here. If you view my history, I've been on a multitude of DMARD's and biologics for over 20 years with average to good results. The latest is Rituxan; however, I still deal with the fatigue and "sick" feeling. So, my dr. has added Arava to my Rituxan infusions. Any hope

Horrible Rash
I’ve been on Arava (Leflunomide) for over 8 months. The only major side effect was my hands being terrible itchy.Two months ago my doctor started me Cimzia injections also. I was briefly exposed to the sun 2 1/2 weeks ago. (don’t know if that is relevant or not) One week ago, I started to get a pronounced

Bad reflux
Bad Reflux. I have been 4 weeks on Methotrexate now at 17 mg 1x a week and 6 wks on Prednisone now at 16 mg. The acid reflux began 3 weeks ago and is so bad I think I need to change from MTX back to Arava. My chemo day is today and doc did not yet call back to say how much Arava equals 17 mg MTX.

CBD Oil and RA medication
Recently, a friend of mine suggested I try CBD Oil for my pains, but I´m in treatment with Arava and Prednisolona. My rheumy tells me to be patient (I started treatment in Nov. 17 and had to change mtx to arava one month ago ... like starting from zero) and not try anything else.. Has anyone experienced

Xeljanz / Tofacitinib
Doctor just switched me to Xeljanz I’m supposed to start Saturday & I’m feeling anxious. I was on Leflunomide / Arava since October but I have been flaring to frequently so doctor thought it was best to switch to a biologic. On the Leflunomide I also noticed I lost a lot of hair. I was very nervous

Rheumatoid arthritis
Hi all, I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 36 years and was on arava 20mg xeljanz twice a day prednisolone 3mg daily and methotrexate 15mg.

Methotrexate and Arava
Friends sorry to bother you all. I'm just worried and anxious. Right now my doctor has put me on 20mg of Arava daily Monday to Friday and methotrexate 8 Tablets on Sundays. Apart from this he has given me miracid t Capsules, folic, calcium and D2 capsules. D2 once a week. Is it ok for me to take methotrexate
