Arava and Sulfasalazine
Hi Everyone, I have been taking Sulfasalazine for three years now but it has become less effective as my RD has progressed. I'm about to start Arava as well but from reading all the posts on this site, It does appear to be a less common drug combination. I would love to hear from anyone who has been

Methotrexate - Very good and informative videos for RA patients!!
I came across these videos when I was looking for the natural remedy to maintain my remission. I found them very informative and very good hence would like to share with all of you. We went up a little hill 2 weeks ago in another state and had a good time over there together with my girl friend.

Help Coming off of Prednisone
I have been on Arava for almost 2 months - doing very well. I am to try to come off of my 5mg prednisone. Last week I started taking it every other day and it seemed ok. However, last night (Sun) I woke up with terrible pain - in some joints but mostly in my teeth. It felt like all of my teeth were

New to this RA and it's already getting old.....
I'm a registered nurse with a wonderful blended family 3 lovely kiddos between us. I was diagnosed about 3 months ago following months of painful joints and exhaustion. I had made subtle adjustments to daily life such as a lighter coffee mug and flipping my heavy bamboo pillow at night without even

Anxious about appointment
Good afterno Starting to think about my appointment on Tuesday feeling apprehensive. It is my second assessment for biologics. I will either be put forward or if not successful start Arava. I was given 4 drug leaflets to look at, to be honest not really looked to closely. Don't want to get my hopes

Arava and beneficial weight loss.
I had to discontinue mtx in May for bone marrow suppression (hospitalized). I'm also on Cimzia, but it wasn't holding up as monotherapy, so I started Arava (leflunomide). I've been on it a month and a half. For the first time I've actually benefitted from the side effect of weight loss, 11 pounds

Viral meningitis
So like the first time I went to rite aid and spent the 22.00 on
Abreva
for a speedy recovery. Unfortunately this time was nothing like the first. My lip tripled in size making it hang open all the time. The blister was huge and tight. I thought surely at any moment it was going to just explode.

Arava
After having been on mtx for 9 months, I was taken off it 7 weeks ago due to a cough, lung function tests, x rays and ct scan later I have today been given arava instead of the mtx. The leaflet says NO ALCOHOL but I do like a drink now and again especially when on hol... which I was hoping we could

Biologics...scary?
I am going to be put on biologics. Not sure which one yet, depends on the insurance (I live in Canada). I'm really scared guys. I never took Tylenol for a headache before I was diagnosed a year ago. I was quite ill on mtx pills, then tried injections. Same. My current medication, Arava + Vimovo, hasn't

At least another three months
Had my first visit to the biologics clinic and I do not qualify for biologics because I am not on MTX and didn't stay on it for 3 months before I stopped taking it, same with arava and now same with imuran. So my choices are go back on mtx and hope I don't kill someone due to the manic rage I experienced

I went on the trial last year at Guys and am sure I had the BIP as for almost 6mth I fekt really good and bloods were much improved. I was holding out with high

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed in December 2013 with rheumatoid arthritis then affecting 33 joints. I have been given the following medication. Methotrexate 20mg weekly, folic acid, calciferol, plasmaquine, panafcort, cal d, arava, stilpaine, lansoloc, all daily. So this is between 13 to 21 tabs daily.
