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. I have stopped the arava and the xeljanz because I have recently been put on medication for high blood pressure. I am keen to see if that is what is causing it

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

Unbelievable.
This has probably been my best Xmas in 7 years. I'm not saying that to annoy folks. I'm telling you to give those of you who haven't found the right drugs yet that when you do things will be so much better! I managed to cook for 8 people for four days plus a 21st party without killing myself, with help

New RA drug
I consider myself so lucky. I was on Arava and it almost killed me, so my rheumatologist put me on Xeljanz XR. I have to tell you. It is a wonder drug. I have never felt so good. Very little pain and I actually walked up a flight of stairs the other day. I hadn't done that since 2011.

Arava side affects?
Hello, I was reading some posts and had a question. I have active bowel disease UC and undifferentiated connective tissue disease as well as either inflammatory arthritis or symptoms from the above. I was in imuran for a few years and it helped with joint and tendon swelling until I was hospitalized

Hello!
Hi. I'm Charlene. Can't believe it's taken me so long to find this site. I've had RA for decades! I'm interested in your stories and particularly the lifestyle hacks helping you to reduce overall inflammation as I've decided to get serious about combatting this awful disease and hopefully get off Humira
