Sero positive consultant tells me it's most aggressive and I will flare soon ☹️☹️☹️
I came away with two leaflets on Sulfasazine and
Leflunomide
. As soon as I flare I am to call to request a prescription ? Please may I ask for any of your thoughts? I've been reading tonight about Sero positive and it's quite common to get vasculitis - scaring myself to death here.

RA and Fibro
I've already failed on sulfa and
leflunomide
. It's 31 weeks waiting time here for a scan so I'm less than impressed! He's now saying I may have Fibromyalgia too is this common to have both?

Next round
I picked up my
Leflunomide
today and I’m thinking of starting it tomorrow- albeit, with some trepidation. My question is, how is it best taken, on its own or can I take it the same day as my methotrexate ( due tomorrow )? Any advice will be greatly appreciated . Marie

Leflunomide, Uncommon Side Effect
I've read, if you stop
leflunomide
with in a month, chances are it can be reversed. 😰

fibromyalgia
I have come off
Leflunomide
, due to upset tummy so the plan is firstly to put my on amitriptyline, mainly to help me sleep but to also ease aches and pains and also azathioprine which I am a little more concerned about. Any comments or advice would we welcome.

Can't believe it
Just in from seeing the Rheumy and after 6 years of various combinations my inflammation levels are right down It seems Tocizilumab, hydrochloquine and
leflunomide
is the combination for me. I'm so delighted !!!!! He says he's gonna use my inflammation chart as a teaching aid !

Shortness of breath?
My RA is still active since I just was diagnosed over the summer and have only been on
Leflunomide
about 6 weeks. I’ve been having shortness of breath this last week. It feels like I’m not taking deep enough breaths, when I’m just sitting there. I then breath deep.

Leflunomide
He says he wants to try
Leflunomide
if I haven't got down to 10mg pred. I've just got to 10.5 but struggling. Anyone else been offered this? Also Alendronate is being put forward which I am really worried about. I am on Adcal D3 but have never had a Dexa scan.

No ending on site
Following me visit with my rhuemy last week, I was prescribed
leflunomide
, on top of the Mtx, enbrel and all else I take. He had now called to say that I’ve to stop the enbrel and will begin secukinumab. These are two drugs I’ve not experienced. Is anyone able to advise how they are ?

Leflunomide query?
Could not tolerate sulfasalazine, had awful rash with hydroxychloroquine, now going to start
leflunomide
. Just hoping for something positive about this as I'm really not looking forward to more horrible side effects.

Methotrexate injections and side effects
If I can't resolve this I'll have to swap to
Leflunomide
which I'm reluctant to take due to its long half life. Due to my past history with drugs, I'm concerned that I'll also have side effects if I change and don't like the idea of a washout.

More meds
He prescribed
leflunomide
. Feeling a little fed up, if honest. He wanted me to try this as a way of delaying more surgery if possible. He says the surgery is inevitable but because I've had so much over the past two years, to delay it, if possible is best. I also had IM steroid injection (sore!!)

Miserable
I'm on
Leflunomide
and 10mg of prednisone for another week until I drop down to 5mg until I see him. I woke up the last two nights in horrible pain. Am I being too optimistic about getting better? It's only been maybe a month since I started the
Leflunomide
.

Leflunomide
Hi, I've just started on 20mg
leflunomide
feeling very sickly and lightheaded but really want to find something that works for me and would be grateful for any advice or anyone else's experience with this drug. I've already tried methotrexate then sulfasalazine but struggle with the side effects.

Possible change in drugs
She is concerned that although my combination of meds seem to be helping with my hands and wrists my feet are still quiet tender and suggested changing from Methotraxte to
Leflunomide
.

Leflunomide... experiences?
Rheumy suggesting I switch to
leflunomide
. I read the side effects online. It seems more daunting than the mtx. Please if any of you have experiences you can share with me, good or bad, are welcome.
