Leflunomide and headaches
I have been on
leflunomide
10mg for 5 weeks and am now experiencing headaches which last most of the day. I take the
leflunomide
at about 0800 hrs. Painkillers help but not 100%.

Cimzia help?
So he told me to stop the
Leflunomide
immediately. Now after he gets clearance from my insurance company he wants to start me on Cimzia. I have no idea what to expect. Anyone had experience with this medication?

Leflunomide
Have just started talking
Leflunomide
and have nausea stomach cramps. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if they eventually eased. Don’t want to stop the tablets just yet as early days. Also how long did people find they took to work?

Low neutrophils on methotrexate
I’m on triple therapy ie. methotrexate,
leflunomide
and plaquenil for over 2 years now and in what is called a “medicated remission”. However my white cell count is low. Have lowered my methotrexate from 25 mg since October 2018 to 10 mg as of March 2019. So far my neutrophils is below 1.0.

New here looking for advice
Been taking methotrexate and
leflunomide
for about a month, now my ALT has gone up to 390 AST 290. My Rheum has said to go off all meds. Anyone with similar results? Biologics next?

Leflunomide and anxiety
Then I noticed that it was much better if I didn't take the
Leflunomide
. I stopped taking it altogether in June last year and feel mentally fine now - but the old Arthur is coming back. Anyone else had a similar experience? Would love to start taking it again but afraid the anxiety will come back.

Baricitinib
I have tried Methotrexate, Hydroxychloroquine and
Leflunomide
but none have stopped RA flare ups and have caused side effects such as nausea and elevated BP hence my consultant thinking of putting me on Baricitinib. Thank you.

OVER THE MOON WITH MY LATEST CRP RESULT
Well, I went against my rheumy advice a month ago to start back on
leflunomide
as my CPR went up to 69 from 37. Well I just got my result and it’s down to 29 from a month ago, yippee. 😊😊😊 I quit smoking 5 weeks ago. I’m so excited, finally a bright spark, can’t wait until my next monthly test.

Eye screening for Patients taking DMARDs
I had a eye test at Boots this week and to the best of my knowledge they now recommend yearly eye test for patients taking methotrexate,
leflunomide
sulfasalazine hydroxychloroquine I have hear about eye testing recommended when taking hydroxychloroquine but not of the other standard DMARDs, so
