Rhumatoid
The doctor today gave me 8 methotrexate weekly,
Arava
twice every day and prednisolone 2.5 every day. I'm so worried where it'll take me. Will all this work for my knee? I also have back pain since 3 days. My knees get inflamed with fluid. I need to remove the fluid every 2 or 3 months.

Recently diagnosed with ANCA Associated Vascultis called Microscopic Polyangiitis, and seeking understanding
I was on
Arava
(Leflunomide) before and it was fine for 9 years - for Rheumatoid Arthritis - but all the medical treatment folks like Methotrexate better for this ANCA Associated Vasculitis.

New RA drug
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?
I just started
Arava
this week from my rhumi for joint pain and I have a terrible sore throat in my right side. Does anyone else have sore throats from this or will it go away? I am so tired of feeling sick and in pain.

on enbrel, now adding arava
Rheumatologist wants me to start
arava
along with enbrel. I am also taking 5mgs prednisone daily, meloxicam every now and then. I also have hashimotos (hypothyroidism) and take levothyroxine. For a person who really dislikes taking any meds, I feel like I am taking quite a bit.

Oral herpes / mouth sores won't go away help
I am on Humira, prednisone,
arava
, Motrin 800 for past 10 years no real issues. In may 2017 I had a oral herpes outbreak like never before. Sores inside mouth, cheeks, gums, lips, throat, and burning tongue. Doctor prescribed acyclovir and it still took 8 weeks to heal and they are back.

Hello!
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 and
Arava
.

SERONEGATIVE AND DMARDS...DO THEY WORK?
I have been on the
arava
now for three weeks but also had a prednisilone injection last appt and although I am better I am still sore. I am anticipating they will leave me on the
arava
for at least another 3 months to see if it works but wonder what will be next.

Self love and acceptance
I did try
Arava
but discontinued after 5 months. Right now I am in the process of getting prepared for biologics which I am hopeful. I have continued to work full time shift work, just finishing up schooling to be a power engineer, work out 5-6 times a week.

Biologics?
So last July they replaced it with
Arava
and after a few months my blood pressure soared and my hair was thinning out dramatically. So I have now stopped that and take Meloxicam which I have always done and started Plaquenil. I am not in much pain apart from my knees and shoulders.

Help!
Hi everyone, I have been taking
Arava
(10mg) for six months now and it has helped a lot with pain and swelling but my hair is noticeably thinning and my scalp can be uncomfortable and itchy at times.
