2nd Anti-tnf Assessment
I then tried
Leflunomide
which unfortunately my liver took a big dislike to. Since then I have had a course of steroids but am presently just taking one Hydroxychloroquine daily and ibuprofen.

Has anyones menstrual cycle been affected?
mine has gone mad. since adding
leflunomide
and brufen retard to my cocktail of drugs. (stopped brufen incase it caused the thinning of the blood) after my monthly cycle of a week, it didnt stop and went on to be heavy bleeding with clots for 3 weeks.

Does Leflunomide cause fingernails to peel?
I am taking
Leflunomide
10mg and currently 10mg of Prednisone to back it up while it get into my system. My cuticles are soo dry. And my face is almost to the point of being in the dry category. It was an oil well before. Rheum says he doesnt think my nail peeling is related to the RA treatment.

Leflunomide and Prednisolone is any one taking it. How are the side effects?
I'm a 65 year old lady. Worried about taking this combination of tablets. Can anyone advise me?

increased leflunomide dose
I have recently upped my dose of
leflunomide
to 20 mgs instead of the 10mg I've been on for 2 years. It was a week ago and I've been feeling awful ever since. So tired and my head feels like I'm swimming thru mud. Plus joints if anything feel worse.

Cancelled appointment update
He said it was no wonder that I felt so rough and miserable but assures me that coming off the
Leflunomide
and taking the steroids will help and will also bring the liver levels down.

Help about which meds as alternative to Gold please.
In the past i have had Sulphaz, Methotrex up to 25 mgs injected,
leflunomide
, none of which lowered my ESR, was 40-60. Then i was put on Gold injections which actually lowered my ESR, i was on it for 3 yrs, but was still having flares although more infrequent and pain in other joints in general.

Hacked off
Since having to come off mtx in Nov my RA has been very active and not responsive to
Leflunomide
which I was subsequently put on. I am on a low dose and they won't increase it becasue of raised liver levels. I'm living on painkillers and totally fed up.

Leflunomide side effects - PsA
I started taking Arava two weeks ago after intolerance issues with both sulphalazine and methotrexate. All was well until today when I have suffered a few bouts of almost passing out - no pre warning signs just hit out of the blue. I am now left this evening with a headache and generally feel out of

Conflicting autoimmune diseases
I have gone through the usual treatments - MTX,
Leflunomide
, Cimzia, Enbrel and Rituximab, which I tolerated till my 3rd session at the end of December. I then had a bad reaction near the end of the 1st infusion and am unable to have it any more.

Feeling Positive
I came away from appointment with new meds, being
leflunomide
(would love to hear others experience with this one) and having had one of the general all over steriod injections. Seeing an understanding doctor who genuinly appears to care makes all the difference.
