Leflunomide or methotrexate
Liver biopsy before I started prednisolone in March 2016 reassured all that my liver was in good condition) So my question is - is
leflunomide
a weaker drug than methotrexate or do they just metabolise differently?

Should I take Leflunomide?
I really don't want to be on prednisone forever, but I'm afraid of taking
Leflunomide
. So hard to decide what to do!

Here we go again...mtx
I was offered
leflunomide
; I'm afraid I didn't fancy trying that one. After 6 weeks, my body started to rebel: swollen fingers (had to force my rings off!) and general pain throughout! I made an executive decision to restart my mtx (20ml) biweekly.

Baricitinib Users
I have RA and have previously been prescribed Methotrexate and
Leflunomide
but with negligible results. My lovely consultant has now recommended biologics and for various reasons had prescribed Baricitinib.

A & E visit
We then spoke about my meds as I’m on nothing again because the
leflunomide
stopped working. She told she didn’t know what to give me and to come back in 3 months.

Leflunomide and headaches
I have been on
leflunomide
10mg for 5 weeks and am now experiencing headaches which last most of the day. I take the
leflunomide
at about 0800 hrs. Painkillers help but not 100%.

Cimzia help?
So he told me to stop the
Leflunomide
immediately. Now after he gets clearance from my insurance company he wants to start me on Cimzia. I have no idea what to expect. Anyone had experience with this medication?

Leflunomide
Have just started talking
Leflunomide
and have nausea stomach cramps. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if they eventually eased. Don’t want to stop the tablets just yet as early days. Also how long did people find they took to work?

Low neutrophils on methotrexate
I’m on triple therapy ie. methotrexate,
leflunomide
and plaquenil for over 2 years now and in what is called a “medicated remission”. However my white cell count is low. Have lowered my methotrexate from 25 mg since October 2018 to 10 mg as of March 2019. So far my neutrophils is below 1.0.
