Been taking methotrexate and
leflunomide
for about a month, now my ALT has gone up to 390 AST 290. My Rheum has said to go off all meds. Anyone with similar results? Biologics next?

Leflunomide and anxiety
Then I noticed that it was much better if I didn't take the
Leflunomide
. I stopped taking it altogether in June last year and feel mentally fine now - but the old Arthur is coming back. Anyone else had a similar experience? Would love to start taking it again but afraid the anxiety will come back.

Baricitinib
I have tried Methotrexate, Hydroxychloroquine and
Leflunomide
but none have stopped RA flare ups and have caused side effects such as nausea and elevated BP hence my consultant thinking of putting me on Baricitinib. Thank you.

OVER THE MOON WITH MY LATEST CRP RESULT
Well, I went against my rheumy advice a month ago to start back on
leflunomide
as my CPR went up to 69 from 37. Well I just got my result and it’s down to 29 from a month ago, yippee. 😊😊😊 I quit smoking 5 weeks ago. I’m so excited, finally a bright spark, can’t wait until my next monthly test.

Eye screening for Patients taking DMARDs
I had a eye test at Boots this week and to the best of my knowledge they now recommend yearly eye test for patients taking methotrexate,
leflunomide
sulfasalazine hydroxychloroquine I have hear about eye testing recommended when taking hydroxychloroquine but not of the other standard DMARDs, so

This drug is in daily tablet form which worries me as everything else has been injection so avoiding the gastric problems I had with Sulphasalazine and
Leflunomide
.

Not a bad appointment
She’s put me back on my
leflunomide
and 2 weekly blood monitoring. If my liver goes up again she’ll send me for a scan to have a look. She’s going to push my physio referral again as I’m still waiting. She’s given me nifedipine to try and help with the raynaurds.

Leflunomide - RA sufferer
I tried Methotrexate injections and thereafter tablets over 6 months but suffered severe nausea so my consultant put me on
Leflunomide
10mg but it’s not helping control inflammation. The question is what can I take with
Leflunomide
or on its own that won’t cause me nausea. Any suggestions?

Leflunomide 10mg
I could not tolerate Methotrexate to manage my RA so was put on
Leflunomide
7 months ago. Two weeks after starting, my right eye party turned red with no pain and no steroid drops have helped clear it. My BP is elevated to just under 140/90. Has anyone had eye issues when taking
Leflunomide
?

Leflunomide 10mg
I started this 7 months ago to manage my RA as could not tolerate Methotrexate, but two weeks after starting, my right eye became partly red with no pain. Been to Moorfields several times, no steroid drops have helped. Has anyone had similar experience?
