Penicillamine
I was diagnosed with seropositive RA in July 2020 and since then I have tried methotrexate tablets, methotrexate injections and
leflunomide
, all which had adverse side effects. I can’t take sulfasalazine due to tinnitus and vertigo.

Leflunomide and PMR
I’m was bit gutted as I was really hoping that the
Leflunomide
would be the answer to my tapering problems. It’s a bit of a nasty drug , which can have serious effects on the Liver.

How can I get back to regular sleep?
It was then discovered that I have arthritis in both knees and would need to continue with
Leflunomide
but also, to go back to taking 5g Prednisolone. Once I'd had an injection in my knee to release fluid (crystals calcium pyrophosphate) and a steroid injection, I've had considerable relief.

Does anyone have a successful experience using hydroxychloroquine to lower prednisone and control PMR?
So my rheumatologist prescribed
Leflunomide
. After I took for two days, I had some side effects such us fatigue and difficulty in breathing, so my rhm. asked me to stop taking it. In January 2021, I went to see my rhm. as I had a lot of pain.

Mouth Ulcers that don't heal... one now infected and I am going to see Rheumy today
These ulcers appeared almost 18 months ago, they are deep and I have bone exposed, it was while I was taking
Leflunomide
. I have had numerous appointments with the FacialMaxillory doctor cancelled due to Covid. Maybe this year, I will get them sorted out - not a clue how.

Leflunomide and MXT - together or apart?
I am due to take my first
Leflunomide
tablet either tonight or tomorrow morning. I also have my 15mg methotraxate injection on Thursday mornings. Should I take the
Leflunomide
at the same time as the injection or space them out? Many thanks

Leflunomide
I’m wondering how others had peripheral neuropathy diagnosed and if reducing to 10mg of
Leflunomide
would reduce the possibility.
