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.

ra associated eye ulcers
I was off all medication for 3 months after open heart surgery in the summer caused by a toxic reaction to
leflunomide
which had seriously worsened my congenital bicuspid aortic valve .

choosing an alternative to Actemra
She is now offering me three choices of alternative drugs - Mycophenolate, Azathioprine and
Leflunomide
. Reading the leaflets, they look very similar. How to decide and how to uncover the lesser known/advertised side effects?

perimenopause, hormones & RA flare..
currently on
Leflunomide
but is not really working, but having done 12 months on MTX which affected my MH really badly, and wiped me out, I was switched (albeit it worked for pain) I’ve akways been sensitive to hormone fluctuations and suffered with pms.. but think am now entering Peri-menopause.

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!

Flare or reaction to Leflunomide Dmard
Hello everyone, I've had diagnosis of PMR & GCA since 2012 (@45) on maintenance steroids and HYXQ since. Rheumatologist did hand ultrasound scan to see if possible RA . Was surprised when told I had, as I hadn't really had probs with hands . She suggested I had and to take MTX and have had a reaction

Lupkinis plus MMF most effective in lupus nephritis; tacrolimus safest
It also led to a complete response rate much higher than IV cyclophosphamide alone or low-dose
leflunomide
. There were no significant differences between the treatments regarding the partial remission of kidney disease.

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

Side effects of Leflunomide?
So he has added
Leflunomide
on top, since April 2023. It seems to be doing the trick and I haven't had any flares since but there are a couple of side effects which I wondered were common: Increase in small sebatious cysts particulalry on my face.

Normal cortisol levels
This didn't work so the rheumatologist prescribed
leflunomide
which again didn't work. He wanted to put me on a biologic which I was to inject at home, the name of this began with T. The diagnosis of PMR never felt right.

Highly elevated ESR and CRP but no symptoms of a flare
I'm currently on 5mg prednisolone and 20mg of
leflunomide
(for almost 3 years). I have no other health issues. I work full time and am very lucky to be able to maintain the same active level of fitness pre-PMR.

3rd Rheumy says I no longer have PMR but Rheumatoid Arthritis from X-rays and blood tests and prescribed Leflunomide
does this stuff work? The side effects for liver damage potential looks scary to me, someone that once was misdiagnosed with liver cancer and sent to Cleveland for transplant. Yes, fatty liver at age 59. Don’t drink or smoke. Pre diabetic/diabetic Also, does PMR segway into rheumatoid arthritis?

Leflunomide and tapering. Update on flare this Summer
The result (as well as really boosting my mood, the meetings with her are so valuable) is that I am to increase the
Leflunomide
back to 20mg once I'm fully recovered from covid.
