Thank you ❤️
Thank you everyone for your help, called 111 and had an ambulance out to check me over, apparently due to doctors telling me to stop my
leflunomide
it made me more susceptible to infections and so I had a flare up which has been the worst one I've ever had.

Anyone on Truxima infusions ?
I'm taking daily
Leflunomide
and Ibuprofen to relieve some of the pain and keep me going . I was on Benepali injections but that became less effective over the couple of years that I was on it. Would be good to hear of other people's experiences of this drug. Thanks all. Much appreciated.☺️ x

CAN'T WAIT TO ACTUALLY SEE THE NHS RHEUMATOLOGY CLINIC!
Today I asked the receptionist for a copy of my last test results as I think the consultant will want to see them due to the liver function result, especially as there's an increase in
leflunomide
, at first she couldn't find any blood tests for me, then said we haven't had the results back yet, YES you

Questions
I honestly stopped it yesterday and have to decide whether I go for something else or try to continue with it 🙄 The other options are azathioprine sulfasalazine or
leflunomide
. Rheumatology Department won't decide for me, they gave me the options and let me decide. I don't know what to do?

Is leflunomide causing my chest/heart 'flutters' or might it be a build up of inflammation?
I began taking
Leflunomide
on October 2020, reluctantly because of side effects, but I understood the consequences of a possible increase in inflammation. The symptom I mention in the above question is the only side effect I've had so far apart from slight tingling in toes.

leflunomide
I’m on
leflunomide
from yesterday and I’m dreading the side effects… so far only headache and very strong urge to throw up but managing it, and a few others not not worth mentioning, any advice, what should I expect? And more importantly, when it started working for you in terms of pain?

Leflunomide and copd
I was put onto
leflunomide
to control my symptoms.I’ve been taking it for 2 months now.pain and swelling has reduced considerably. I’ve recently learned that the combination of
leflunomide
and lung disease is deadly😪 I posted about becoming more breathless on a social media site for copd.

RA - ulcers - mucosal lesions...ongoing saga
Some time ago, while taking
Leflunomide
, one of the side effects I suffered was severe mouth ulcers. The ulcers lead to lesions on my gums that broke through to bone. I had just been referred to to FacialMaxillory consultant, then Covid happened. I have a dental plate that covers the holes.

Anyone with RA and ADHD? It’s confusing, scary and don’t know what normal brain fog is for RA and what for ADHD…
I’m on
leflunomide
and vyvance, run out of vyvance and the bullshit started again… waiting for my next prescription… arranging travelling - you wouldn’t believe the mistakes I did arranging car park, car rent, etc.

Scared to start Leflunomide
But he wants to go after this with a sledgehammer and add
Leflunomide
. I’m really scared b/c you can’t get pregnant on. The damage to the fetus is so severe. Not planning on kids at my age, but if it can do that what is it doing to the rest of me??

28/05/2021 - Stopping Leflunomide Experience
I think something is not right and I do not think it is the right time to go without
leflunomide
. To avoid the possible relapse, I decided to take the
leflunomide
again. To go back to my previous remission condition, I am okay to have the double agents treatment - methotrexate and
leflunomide
.

Lumps on finger joints

Leflunomide

Skin breakouts and hair loss
It sounds like some of the other issues I am having - the breakouts on my face, dry skin, and the neuropathy - are likely caused by the
leflunomide
. I have paused taking the
leflunomide
because I have been loosing so much hair.

Starting leflunomide soon...
Hi everyone, so after 2 years on MTX my rheumy has decided to try me on
leflunomide
with the MTX. This is because Salfasalzine was making me depressed and hydroxychloroquine made my tinnitus worse. I read the side effects with
leflunomide
can be scary, has anyone of you experienced any?

sulfasalazine or leflunomide
Hi all, Mtx didn’t suit me so my consultant mentioned these 2 to add to the hcq I already take. Hands are playing up badly again so know I need something else. I’d like some idea what to expect from these and if one may be better side effect wise than the other? Thanks everyone, ss
