Arava and tendon pain
Well its 6 weeks in and the hair is ok and only side effect is tendon pain. Not all the time just every few days and in both hands. Its agony ! ice and heat relieve it a it bit but my question is how long does this effect last? Any advise welcomed as I'm on Riveroxaban and MTX caused severe hair loss

leflunomide (arava)
Ok - I went for my second visit and the Dr put me on the above. I opted for this instead of the one that starts with an M as I am allowed to have some wine on this drug. I wish I had not read on the internet all the things I did. Hair falling out, no eyebrows. Has anyone had good results with this

New to this RA and it's already getting old.....
Now I'm on
Arava
. Which I'm convinced is evil. My hair is dry and breaking, my pain isn't yet under control consistently at all, I'm so nauseous I pop zofran like crazy.....it's quite miserable. I can't think straight at all and feel I go in circles.

Arava and beneficial weight loss.
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 in 3 weeks!

As Etta James said " at last"
Stay on
Arava
and methotrexate too. Restart steroid 15 mg orally. So all good I hope and now fingers crossed that Rituximab is for me!!!

Arava & Exhaustion
I have Lupus & RA and just recently I have been taken off of methotraxe & placed on
Arava
. I am completely exhausted! Is this normal and will it pass once my body has adjusted to the new meds? I am also on Remicade infusions every 4 weeks!

Biologics...scary?
My current medication,
Arava
+ Vimovo, hasn't really done anything other than five me violent diarrhea. About 8 months ago I started going to the gym again. I wanted my life back. And being 31 and having to use a cane was just not jiving with me.

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.

I've failed on so many DMARDS and I'm still uncontrolled even though I'm on 20mg daily of
Arava
. 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 hopes that I might get another go.

Pain meds
time I am currently on
Arava
and hoping it will work. In the meantime I take robaxisal for pain. GP gave me tylenol 3 but it does not work. Can anyone recommend a good pain reliever so I can at least go for walks. So fed up!

Humira
I had clumps of hair loss from
Arava
and hair loss is listed as a very rare side effect, but when I see people's posts about hair loss on
Arava
it doesn't seem to rare to me. I lost some hair with Methotrexate as well but not the clumps I lost on
Arava
.

RA
Methotrexate 20mg weekly, folic acid, calciferol, plasmaquine, panafcort, cal d,
arava
, stilpaine, lansoloc, all daily. So this is between 13 to 21 tabs daily. I am apparently responding well to treatment.
