Anyone taking leflunomide (ARAVA) for PMR?
Has anyone taken leflunomide (
ARAVA
) as a Methotrexate substitute? I didn't do very well on Mtx. so my rheumy ordered leflunomide. The bottle is sitting on the counter as I am hesitant to start taking it.

Feeling lost
Now I’m waiting on my rheumatologist to tell me what I should try next (and I now have a 90 day supply of
Arava
that cost me $200 that I’ll need to toss away). I’m married to an otherwise pretty wonderful man who has no clue.

It seems that back when I was on
Arava
almost two years ago It helped to get old pancreatic cancer started in my body. I have two tumors in my pancreas, a nodule on my liver and one on my lung. The doctors are talking about taking part of my panceas out. That’s gonna be a tough surgery.

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.

How do I cope with a THR?
I'm also really worried about stopping my drugs (
Arava
and Sulfa) before and after the surgery, in case I flare and also that I might not get back to full mobility as I was very active before.

Bad reflux
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. What to do?

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..

Xeljanz / Tofacitinib
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 about being able to give myself the Humira shot so that’s why we didn’t go with that.

arava
20mg xeljanz twice a day prednisolone 3mg daily and methotrexate 15mg. I have stopped the
arava

Methotrexate and Arava
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 and
Arava
? I'm not worried.
