New meds and mtx tips.
I am changing to Methotrexate injections and to add
leflunomide
. So I will be on triple therapy, mtx Hydroxychloroquine and
leflunomide
. I will be reviewed regularly and if no improvement then for biologics. I don't care what works as long as something does.

Feeling yucky!
For the past few weeks every time I take my meds (omeprazole, hydroxychloraquinine,
leflunomide
, lyrica and hrt ) I feel so sick for about 2hrs. Then my bowels start with the low growling then all hell breaks loose. I've even not taken my cocktail of meds and been fine!

Horrific abdominal pain, bloating and bleeding
Has anyone suffered with the above after starting
leflunomide
? I started it last Monday after methotrexate, hydroquinone and sulfasalazine not agreeing. Started from no where on Sat and rushed into hospital by ambulance. They said I have a UTI and prescribed antibiotics.

I tried
Leflunomide
for 6 weeks but it threw my blood pressure through the roof & still suffering since I stopped (140-138/110-106& taking 7.5mg daily Ramipril) I've been struggling with my Diet/Stomach reactions and heard many people have changed theirs.. my question is to what?

New, to site & RA
I'm on methotrexate &
leflunomide
& take prednisone a lot with flares. I haven't found a lot of relief. Some but not what I expected. I'm so tired of hurting. I wake up every morning thinking maybe this will be the day I won't have pain somewhere. It hasn't happened yet.

Methotrexate or Leflunomide
Injections are certainly better in that I do not have any nausea but instead I feel terrible for a few days after, and I wondering about changing to
Leflunomide
. Has anyone else changed, are the side effects just as bad?

Off all meds!
Really worried to go back on
Leflunomide
as I think this is the drug causing the problem? We shall see. This disease is such a challenge!

First visit to a new Dentist
The Rheumatologist has put me on Apo-
Leflunomide
10mg in the meantime. Not sure if I can take this and the steroids whilst going to the dentist?

Leflunomide
May I please pick your brains about side effects of
leflunomide

That's it, I'm done working
Still on 13mg of steroids after starting at 15mg 2 years ago, have been up and down in between and also taking 10mg of
leflunomide
. Hopefully I can settle into retirement and manage this illness a bit better. I still struggle to pace myself well enough but I keep trying.
