Supposed inflammatory arthritis and fear of drug interaction with Apixzban , Digoxin and Losartan .
Now I am told I will be put on
Leflunomide
. I am very worried , of course I have looked it up , the side effects seem to be cardiac . I have to prioritise heart over bones. Also, it sounds petty but , alcohol is banned.

Blood pressure monitor advice
I started taking
Leflunomide
today and know one of the regular things to be monitored is my blood pressure. To save the 8 mile (45 minute) round trip to the GP surgery I was wondering if it was worth me purchasing a monitor. But the choice is bewildering and prices seem to vary considerably.

Consultation with Prof Rod Hughes
His choice for me should I need one would be
Leflunomide
. - he looked at my private DEXA scan results from March 24 and said they were average for a person my age and wouldn’t recommend that I take a Bisphosonate. Instead of my yearly scan he recommended that I have one every three years.

Blood results - liver issue
I have been on MTX for a year and
leflunomide
since end of March this year. I really feel like I have turned a corner, especially with my hands and feel quite optimistic for the first time in a while. Yesterday I got a call from rheumy nurse concerned about my blood test, specifically my liver.

DAS score increase
I was on MTX for nearly a year, but couldn’t tolerate side effects.. then been on
Leflunomide
for 5 months. Rheumy now wants me to start on biologic. I have always had low CRP but have active disease and swollen right hand, and very painful knees.

Good news/bad news
Because I have such active disease she didn’t want to leave me with no meds at all, so we decided to restart the
leflunomide
and see how the blood results go in two week, then make another plan. So took my mum off to Blackpool to a lovely hotel for a few days.

Skin sensitivity to the sun when taking methotrexate
I've just had a message from my GP practice reminding me that certain drugs including methotrexate and
leflunomide
make your skin more susceptible to damage from the sun.https://www.arthritis.org/drug-guide/medication-topics/sun-sensitivity

Finally got my Neurosurgeon appointment!
I’m currently taking
Leflunomide
and Hydroxychloroquine and spoke to the Rheumy nurse yesterday about whether I stop them for surgery. She suggested I ask at the pre-op assessment which is next week.

Side Effects Damaging Kidneys and Liver
I have been on
Leflunomide
, which is supposed to be kinder to liver and kidneys, for six months. So far that drug has the most side effects and has been the least effective controlling symptoms.

Leflunomide thanks
Thank you allfor replies on
Leflunomide
and peripheral neuropathy. I did look on forum but didn't find anything that seemed as alarming as I felt mine was, with the muscle wasting and skeletal hands.

Leflunomide neuropathy
Various initial tests, and I plucked up courage to mention
Leflunomide
without sounding as if I had been seeing Dr Google or was encroaching on his area of expertise.
