ESR blood levels.
I’ve been on
leflunomide
for 6 months now, initially it was fantastic and there was a drastic reduction in my esr levels. After a couple of months they increased again and I was in more pain.

Weird Nerve Pain all over at different times. RA or Medicine to blame?
or is it
leflunomide
side effects? Anyone know? I have been on LeFL for about two months now and I am very sensitive to meds of all kinds. However this med seems to be helping keep pain managable.

Newcomer: advice needed on Pred
He then put me on 10mg daily of
Leflunomide
which he said some patients respond well to. Idea being it suppresses the immune system so that it stops attacking the body.

Adalimumab and leflunomide
Hi just been to rheumatology I currently take sulfa and
leflunomide
(Arava). Still getting bad flares so they are suggesting above biologics. I'm scared to be honest as it's says on google bad combination. I can't tolerate methotrexate.

Recent Consultant appointment
As I'm on Biologics, he has recommended that I stop taking my
Leflunomide
due to the amount of other medication that I take. He feels that this can also create other problems such as high blood pressure which I have and skin problems other than Psoriasis. We shall see how I get on!

Gel/cream for arthritis
I’ve been told after X-ray I don’t have OA but the discomfort in my knees isn’t being helped by prednisolone (currently on 8/7mg), hydroxychloroquine or
leflunomide
! A great cocktail so before I stop taking the latter two I thought I’d try the gel and see if it benefits me.

Ongoing knee pain
I feel frustrated that despite having taken hydroxychloroquine for nearly a year and
leflunomide
for 7 months (4 months at 10mg and past three months at 20mg) trying to taper my prednisolone I don’t feel I’ve experienced any great improvement. My left knee continues to cause me problems.

Are the drugs working?
I also wanted to update on the
Leflunomide
- I'm not noticing any miraculous changes yet and wondering if its still too soon !? I'm not going to reduce my pred (5mg a day) until the Leflu has kicked in.

Methotrexate. To have or not to have? That is the question.
Rheumy dismissed
Leflunomide
although I don’t really want to take that either. I have a complicated medical history and am on eight other medications and I really don’t want any more drugs!

Then I was on

Methotrexate done... now about the try Leflunomide
Rheumy had now prescribed
Leflunomide
. Has anyone tried it and can offer any comforting words? I've been looking at the packet for a week worrying about the side effects. Sadly the MTX was causing my liver to have some issues and apparently
Leflunomide
is slightly less toxic to the liver.

leflunomide
Hi folks, I was started on
leflunomide
about 8 weeks ago and I am sure you will all think I am crazy but has anyone noticed that they suddenly have a lot more wrinkles and lines while taking this, I have even had a couple of family members comment on it, the nearest I can come when trying to find anything

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.
