Steroid Injection in Knee - Mobility
My consultant was off for a year so I was seeing different doctors, they did give me a course of steroids and a couple of steroid injection put me on
leflunomide
. None of these worked, I already have been on all DMARDs with no success.

RISKS OF STEROID MEDICATION AND CORONAVIRUS
If you have to self-isolate and if you are on immunosuppressive medication besides steroids (methotrexate,
leflunomide
, azathioprine, tocilizumab), you must stop those (but not the steroids) when you develop those symptoms and urgently inform your doctor. 3.

Rash
No change in routine, eating granola and felt myself becoming very hot, then raised rash on face, arms, hands and a little on chest. i'm on Humira,
Leflunomide
, prednisolone, omipazole. I had not taken those tablets before this came on. Has anyone else experienced this?

Leflunomide/Arava
I am relatively nervous about starting
leflunomide
because I know it can be hard on the liver and also I have read it can either induce or worsen interstitial lung disease and methotrexate has the same risks (I have nodules in my lungs). Thank you so much!

Starting on Leflunomide and not feeling good.
I suppose I am just asking what other people's experiences are on
Leflunomide
and if anyone else takes both of these tablets.

Dry eyes
I take the following pills: sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine,
leflunomide
, prednisolone. Could this be a side effect of any of these drugs? Thankyou.

Goodbye to prednisolone thanks to Leflunomide
I promised to report on how helpful
Leflunomide
was in tapering off pred. I was fortunate and didn't have any ill effects, in fact it helped remove many of the aches and feelings of illness which I had.

Normal results but pain in joints
I was diagnosed with seronegative arthritis in September 2019 and was taking methatrexate, sulpasalazine and
leflunomide
with terrible side effects. But now consultant is saying that there is no inflammatory arthritis visible but I am waking up in agony with pain in my knees, elbows and hand.

neuropathy in feet?
On Prednisone and
Leflunomide
for a year, tapering Presnisone because of stress fractures [now on prolia].......this stuff is a constant battle, like whack a mole: one thing under control and another crops up.

Explain methotrexate please.
Stopped taking
leflunomide
last week (my own decision as don’t think it’s doing much and only way to find out is to stop) I’d need to stop it if I started mtx. Any advice gratefully received. I’m on a mission as a new year starts and my 4 year PMR anniversary looms 🤬

Bruising on skin without any obvious reason
I am on the following medication: Folic Acid, Hydroxychloroquine,
Leflunomide
, Prednisolone, Sulfasalazine. Does anyone know if this is either a recognised side effect of rheumatoid arthritis or a side effect of any of my medication. Thanks for your help.

Leflunomide - Very complete information that I like to keep
Is this due to
leflunomide
? I started
leflunomide
in Jul 2015, I have the feeling since Aug 2016 until today, the effect comes after a year of
leflunomide
? I did complaint to my rheumy, nothing has been done and no answer has been given.

Hello everyone, this is my first time. Does anyone know anything about "End Stage" RA ?
Now I am taking only meloxicame and
leflunomide
. I have entered "end stage" RA. Which is why I was searching online and found this community. i am hoping to find someone with knowledge or experiencing their own end stage.
