Help/advice please.
I’ve been put on
Leflunomide
an I’m awaiting an appointment with the nurse to tell me more information. Just wondering if anyone can tell me anything about them (positive and negative). Also can anyone recommend anything to ease toe pain when wearing shoes? Tia

London appointment
So now it is just a waiting game to see if the
leflunomide
+ hdroxy will help. He said it can take 3 months. I've been on
leflunomide
for nearly a month now. So having the steroids is key for the overlap period in between. I think i next time i will have some lupus questions to ask.

Methotrexate and Leflunomide
My disease is active and my Rheumy has recommended I start
Leflunomide
also. I am concerned about taking yet another toxic medication alongside the Methotrexate, as some of the posts on here about the side effects of
Leflunomide
are pretty scary!

Baricitinib.
Seeing the Rheu Consultant Monday, wanting to ask him to put me back on Sulfalasazine and
Leflunomide
, hoping my body shan’t recognise them. ( of all the meds, these 2 have been most effective ). Has anyone had to return to their most effective medication after taking a break ?

So...change of plan starting Leflunomide (not Biologics)
I’m now starting
Leflunomide
tomorrow...not going to lie I’m dreading it....Methotrexate has scared me for life and I’m scared. I hope everyone is staying positive or atleast trying to. Sometimes I wonder what I ever did wrong to deserve all this :( x

I'm new here
The Consultant has recommended I start
Leflunomide
along with the Methotrexate.....I do not qualify for the newer drugs - Biologics or Biosimilars etc.... I have recently started with tendonitis of the left achilles which is quite painful... any advice for dealing with this from anyone please?

Feeling awful and fed up!
After being taken off
Leflunomide
first due to awful side effects then stopped Abatercept infusion I had 4 appointments with the consultant and nurses who in turn lost 2 lots of blood results, promised me a prescription for Azathioprine and went on holiday for 2 weeks without leaving it at pharmacy,

stopping humira after cancer
He said there was an 80% chance my RA will flare up again and then he suggests trying
Leflunomide
or Sulfasalazine. If I try both of those but don't get on with them Rituximab might be possible - but what a difference - infusions in hospital rather than self-administered injections at home.

Leflunomide advice
Hi All, I am currently on Meloxicam and Sulfasalazine, but rheumy wants me off meloxicam and I will be starting on
Leflunomide
in a couple of days. Hoping anyone on this or has been on it could share their experience and any side effects with me. Thanks.

Sick & Tired
This moved him to start the process to have me infused minus MXT his arguement was I was on
Leflunomide
and all other treatments he has tried so far has not made a jot of difference apart from the one time I had the Rituxumab infusion. The letter finally arrived and I am due to go in next week.

Cholestyramine Washout and side effects
Hi there, was started on Cholestyramine to wash out
Leflunomide
as my white cells very low. As soon as I started the cholestyramine I felt unable to eat, started getting stomach pains straight away, nausea and for past two days have also had ongoing and very bad diarrhoea.
