Blood pressure monitor advice
I started taking
Leflunomide
today and know one of the regular things to be monitored is my blood pressure. To save the 8 mile (45 minute) round trip to the GP surgery I was wondering if it was worth me purchasing a monitor. But the choice is bewildering and prices seem to vary considerably.

Leflunomide thanks
Thank you allfor replies on
Leflunomide
and peripheral neuropathy. I did look on forum but didn't find anything that seemed as alarming as I felt mine was, with the muscle wasting and skeletal hands.

Leflunomide neuropathy
Various initial tests, and I plucked up courage to mention
Leflunomide
without sounding as if I had been seeing Dr Google or was encroaching on his area of expertise.

Still trying to keep up the optimism
She’s added
Leflunomide
and said to try it and see how it goes and be optimistic! Whilst I am usually a sunny and optimistic person I feel my glass of optimism is actually quite empty at the moment so I’m looking for a refill.

Finally a little light!
A few weeks ago I had another steroid injection and
leflunomide
added to my MTX. I hardly dare say this but I'm actually starting to feel better. My joints have gone down so much that I put my wedding ring back on yesterday!

Side Effects Damaging Kidneys and Liver
I have been on
Leflunomide
, which is supposed to be kinder to liver and kidneys, for six months. So far that drug has the most side effects and has been the least effective controlling symptoms.

DAS score increase
I was on MTX for nearly a year, but couldn’t tolerate side effects.. then been on
Leflunomide
for 5 months. Rheumy now wants me to start on biologic. I have always had low CRP but have active disease and swollen right hand, and very painful knees.

Kevzara (Sarilumab) IL-6 blocker was discussed by my Rheumatologist after the
Leflunomide

Finally got my Neurosurgeon appointment!
I’m currently taking
Leflunomide
and Hydroxychloroquine and spoke to the Rheumy nurse yesterday about whether I stop them for surgery. She suggested I ask at the pre-op assessment which is next week.

NASH & yellow diarrhea
I then started on
leflunomide
for my rheumatoid arthritis around a month ago, and my ALT shot up to 100. I've been stopped the drug for about 2 weeks now but since then I've been getting really yellow diarrhea (sorry for TMI)! I'm going 4-5 times per day!

Changing meds.
And if
Leflunomide
isn’t working for me is it going to be another 12 weeks before we see if that works as the tell me at the clinic all RA medications do? Don’t think I could stand it.

short on leflunomide
Looks like I'm going to be short on
leflunomide
as there was a mix up with my prescription. Waiting to hear back from my doc, but was wondering if this is something that I could skip for a day or two. Any advice? Anyone else been in the same situation? Thanks
