"Signs of infection? Speak to your doctor."
I'm on injected MTX (20mg) and
leflunomide
(10mg). I woke up a couple of days ago with a chesty cough and sore throat. It could be viral or bacterial, I have no idea. Technically, it is a sign of infection but I'm not sure it requires a GP appt.

Leflunomide or Hydroxy with MTX?
I have read the leaflets he gave me and I'm leaning towards
Leflunomide
in the hope that it would knock this swelling and stiffness on the head.

Anti-TNF plus 2 DMARDs??
I assumed I'd be taken off one or both my DMARDs but apparently, I will be remaining on
leflunomide
and MTX for my first 3 months on cimzia. Is this normal? I'm worried about being on these heavy duty medications!

Hoping its a 'yes' to anti TNF today!
Been on all the usual drugs, methotrexate,
leflunomide
etc, so only been on pain killlers with no anti inflammatories, due to the usual stomach probs. Just needed to share this and i hope you all are as pain free as can be. Vonnie x

Leflunomide

Been A while Folks......But something works for me!!!!!
Finally settled with taking
Leflunomide
20mg daily and Humira 40mg fortnightly. I was sad depressed, lacked energy and drive, and could not commit myself to anything, even the children's' events at school.

No more MTX
My rhuemy doctor has suggested once everything settles down with my liver he may try me on
Leflunomide
, is anyone else taking this drug, would be interested to know what it's like. I also take sulphasalazine twice a day.

News, Update and Misc. info from USA
Also have break-through spots of Psoriasis, despite taking MTX,
Leflunomide
and Biologic Simponi. First thing my dear Rheumy asks is, "have you noticed more fatigue since we increased the
leflunomide
last time?" Uh, maybe?

Certolizumab Pegol (Cimzia)
I'm having my 2nd DAS assessment in 4 weeks but it's looking very likely that I will come off
leflunomide
but remain on injected MXT and start this anti-TNF drug (my first).

Psoriatic Arthritis
I was diagnosed about four years ago and am currently on
Leflunomide
after previously trying both Methotrexate and Sulfalazine, both of which had no effect on the inflammation whatsoever. Have recently undergone a total hip replacement (which was a shock as I am only 46 years old).

Suspected Rash from the sun.. Leflunomide, planquil, sulfasa and pred
I love the sun and was fine with it last year on just the sulfasa and planquil, so am sure it's the
leflunomide
but its a constant guessing game. Am due to start humira next week. Sitting in doctors now as pharmacy couldn't help with the rash and dreaded mention of
leflunomide
and rheumy away.

Joints appear fine upon examination and my CRP is normal yet joint damage is occurring....
I've had RA since 2009 but I didn't start to get any real symptom control until late 2012 when I was put on the combo of injected MTX 20mg and
Leflunomide
10mg with Celebrex 400mg. My jaw, ankles and feet are in bad shape - extensive joint erosions shown on MRI scans.

SUN
I am taking Hydroxy and
Leflunomide
I hung out my washing when the sun was out, I was in the garden a matter of minuits and started itching terribly. The same thing happened last year - It seems my skin hates the sun- I have to take Telfast, anti histamine , my GP has no idea why it happens.

lefluenomide itches
Does anyone who takes
leflunomide
get dry itchy patches in sweaty areas? e.g armpits, under the bra line etc. It is bearable but annoying. The other weird one is I feel like I have a stray long hair on the end of my nose that needs brushing off, there's nothing there and the tingling carries on.

cimzia
The main reason for writing is that I have recently started cimzia,the drug you have to inject yourself,and am still taking
leflunomide
with it.
