New courses of treatment offered advise please Leflunomide-tablets Rituximab-injections Methotrexate-injections
I was doing amazingly well on Cimzia injectins but unfortunately I was very unlucky and had a very rare side-effect of pins and needles all over my body. This now means I can no longer have cimzia or any other Anti TNF drug which is very disappointing as I was doing so well on Cimza. However rather than

Leflunomide pain getting worse
They'd changed my meds from Mtx to
Leflunomide
. Have been taking it now for 7 weeks, but the pain seems to be getting worse. My hands and feet are so swollen and painful. Should the meds not be beginning to work by now?

Leflunomide, mad dreams and rising blood pressure
I'm into my 2nd week of
leflunomide
now after coming off mtx in January due to side effects. I've been feeling ok but having a few issues which concern me. The first thing I noticed were very vivid dreams.

Advice needed please.
I started taking
Leflunomide
Christmas time, and it worked so well it was like a miracle. Unfortunately I then started to get diarrhoea. I halved the dosage of my own back, but I still have stayed well, RA wise. Sadly the stomach problems have continued and worsened.

Really down
Am seeing rheumy nurse on Thurs re
Leflunomide
but worried cos one side effect is it can raise blood pressure. Having probs as lately BP has been all over the place. Will have to see. But it's hit me in the last week that RA gets worse. Up to now, I've lived with knowing that.

Counselling?
I went on to
leflunomide
, but that just made things worse. Practically overnight my achilles tendons were affected and then both knees. I've been injecting Enbrel for three months now, but it's not working magic. I have a lot of difficulty climbing stairs and walking.

Weight gain and Lipomas, are they linked to anti TNF treatment?
My meds are 50mg Etanercept (Enbrel), 20mg morphine daily,
Leflunomide
20mg daily, Lansaprazole 30mg twice daily, Metformin 500mg twice daily, Atenolol 25mg daily, Amitriptyline 50mg daily, Oxybutynin 5mg daily and pregabalin 150mg daily. With this cocktail I think I should be glowing in the dark.

Starting new medication after a 10wk break
Now I've been prescribed
leflunomide
and took my first dose last night with dinner. I kept waking up in the night with waves of nausea. It was horrible and reminded me of the morning, noon and night sickness I suffered during pregnancy.

I have just reacted badly to methotrexate because of EBV... Any others who have this and are on Leflunomide? Any advice please?
I have anti-CCP positive RA, recently diagnosed (Oct) and am now on steroids and
Leflunomide
... early days but hoping that my lymph glands don't swell up again this time.

Yet another flare, but not due to reducing too quickly I think
I have been taking
Leflunomide
and hoping that it will kick in soon, but this latest flare might suggest that it isn't going to work.

Does anyone have any experience of Methotrexate and Neproxen?
A joint report, authored by her consultant and another from another major regional hospital was flashed to the World Heath Organization with a warning that 'the use of Methotrexate and
Leflunomide
in close (timE0 proximity can cause fatality any time during therapy'.
