Could lung problems be caused by R.A. medication?
I have also been taking
Leflunomide
but have also been off that. I take Hydroxychlorquine and Prednisolone as well as various other tablets that are not for R.A.

Imraldi wearing out.
I take
leflunomide
everyday and imraldi injection once a fortnight. For the last few months I've started getting RA pains on around day 9 meaning that it wears off sooner than it used to. Does anyone else have this? I was asked before if I wanted to change onto ritixamub (Sorry if spelt wrong).

Update to consultant appointment & triple therapy
left elbow, right elbow & shoulder and hamstring so he's given me prednisolone at 20mg for 2 weeks, then 15mg for 2 weeks down to 10mg for 2 weeks, hopefully I'll have seen some benefit from the
leflunomide
by then although
leflunomide
can take 6 weeks - 6 months to work.

Cannabidiol
Anyone know if CBD is OK to take with
leflunomide
and sulfasalazine? Iāve just started have a cup of CBD herb tea every day and am sleeping so much better. But a medical friend I mentioned this to said to check it was compatible.

Methotrexate & feeling sick remedy (works for me)
I've got to be honest it's worked a treat, previously I was still taking cyclazine for up to 5 days - 3 times a day, I've only had to take it as he suggested, I have felt slightly sick on odd days since which passes pretty quick but this could also be the introduction of
leflunomide

Tapering-Leflunomide and low dose Pred.
Further to my post a couple of weeks ago when I questioned my doctor's Pred tapering plan... I wrote to my doctor expressing my concerns regarding tapering with some days of Pred missed and suggested my own plan. I still haven't had a reply from him but his nurse rang me yesterday evening. She was very

Penicillamine
I was diagnosed with seropositive RA in July 2020 and since then I have tried methotrexate tablets, methotrexate injections and
leflunomide
, all which had adverse side effects. I canāt take sulfasalazine due to tinnitus and vertigo.

Leflunomide and PMR
Iām was bit gutted as I was really hoping that the
Leflunomide
would be the answer to my tapering problems. Itās a bit of a nasty drug , which can have serious effects on the Liver.

How can I get back to regular sleep?
It was then discovered that I have arthritis in both knees and would need to continue with
Leflunomide
but also, to go back to taking 5g Prednisolone. Once I'd had an injection in my knee to release fluid (crystals calcium pyrophosphate) and a steroid injection, I've had considerable relief.

Does anyone have a successful experience using hydroxychloroquine to lower prednisone and control PMR?
So my rheumatologist prescribed
Leflunomide
. After I took for two days, I had some side effects such us fatigue and difficulty in breathing, so my rhm. asked me to stop taking it. In January 2021, I went to see my rhm. as I had a lot of pain.
