Mind over matter
When on mtx, I always got bad blood test results and in the end it affected my breathing, with
leflunomide
I lost a huge amount of hair and weight.

PMR & Alcohol
About 3 or 4 months ago I was put on
leflunomide
to try and help with the steroid reduction. As recommended I did not drink any alcohol whilst taking
leflunomide
. Unfortunately I had a bad reaction to gage
leflunomide
so had to stop taking it.

Leflunomide mixed with MTX
Before Xmas my rheumy nurse prescribed Sulla as an addiction to hydro and 20 mg MTX, but as I experienced dreadful fatigue I had to come off the Sulla. My hands, feet and shoulders are painful. I saw my lovely rheumy nurse again last Monday and after the examination and finding my das score at 4. 7

RA and hot flushes
I'm not on any rheumatoid meds at the minute due to adverse effects to mxt, sulphasalzine,
leflunomide
, Enbrel and recently Humira. I have taken daily prednisolone since 2013 and I'm desperate to get off them but can't until they find a medication that works for me.

Leflunomide - Stomach Pain
I have been taking 20mg of
leflunomide
a day alongside 15mg of pred for the last 8 weeks. Over the last week or so I have been getting severe stomach pains, sometimes during the night but this morning it was when I woke up. The pain is quite severe and lasts for about an hour.

Leflunomide and stomach acid
Hi all I've been taking hydroxychloroquinne plus
Leflunomide
late at night since 2013. This past couple of weeks I've passed whatever I've eaten quite quickly ( sorry for this) and last week I was sick after eating. I otherwise feel fine.

Another MTX question
End of march I was given
leflunomide
, took about 5/6 weeks to get into system and suffered with flare-ups in the meantime. The Lef didnt work as well as the MTX so in about July was given hydroxychloroquine but that disagreed with me severely and stopped it after a couple of weeks.

Osteoarthritis
I am know on
leflunomide
and had a list of things that are happening to me but didn't get anywhere talking them through. I am now feeling deject and peed off. I don't know what to do. Anyone got any suggestions? I'm thinking of jacking all the meds and finding another route.

Some gain!
Now I'm not sure if it's this or the
leflunomide
kicking in but I am certainly a lot better in the mornings and pretty constant all day. The only thing I have a problem with this new regime is sleep is pretty poor!

leflunomide (arava)
Ok - I went for my second visit and the Dr put me on the above. I opted for this instead of the one that starts with an M as I am allowed to have some wine on this drug. I wish I had not read on the internet all the things I did. Hair falling out, no eyebrows. Has anyone had good results with this

Blue badge?
On methotrexate,
Leflunomide
and steroids. I don't claim any benefits, but have found the badge so useful as I can join in so much more with things, even on my worst days. I am worried that I will lose this as if I am seen on a day where I am not struggling so much.

Advice please
I have only just started on the
leflunomide
so don't expect any benefit for the first 6 weeks! I am in less pain than when I was without preds so at least that's something. I am signed off for a month from work which is just as well as that would be a real struggle.

Leflunomide
Know I'm on
leflunomide
. I'm having loads of side effects so I've been told to take a week off of it. It was really bad last week when depression set in and I felt suicidal for a couple of days. Blood tests are all in range apparently.
