No point complaining
I've been on
leflunomide
for over eight months. During that time I've had flares, and my hips are now damaged. I really don't think the
leflunomide
is helping! Not only that, but it gives me nausea and a banging headache. I was off drug for two weeks, and headaches went.

I'm new here, just joined from Alaska☃ Hoping to get some advice or hear about people's experience with changing infusion meds
I'm currently on 20mg
Leflunomide
daily because Methotrexate DS nothing for me, plus I get Remicade infusions every 3 weeks. This Wednesday is my last shot at Remicade (tripled dose) and if it doesn't work I'll have to start something harsher.

Leg ulcers?
I'm 56 and was diagnosed with RA in January 2016, currently 3 months into taking
Leflunomide
(previously tried methotrexate and sulfasalazine but discontinued due to side effects).

Leflunomide
Now on 20mg daily of
Leflunomide
as well as the 25mg of methotrexate weekly. I have to take it until the
Leflunomide
kicks in, feel a bit deflated really as thought I'd be feeling better by now. Still not moaning as my family have supportive.

Stunned how easy it is to get an incorrect diagnosis.

leflunomide
for the fibro! Seriously! I wouldn't mibd if I actually had the disorder, but who takes
leflunomide
for fibro?!

Liver impaired on leflunomide
I have psoriatic arthritis and been on
leflunomide
for 7 months and had 2 weekly blood tests. Angry that nobody picked this up. Saw rheumatologist 2 days later and he fudged a bit but has now taken me off it. Got a Isotope bone scan next week to check for inflammation and help plan next treatment.

Hair falling out but not on drugs anymore
I've been off the steroids now for about three weeks and I only managed 5 weeks on the
leflunomide
which stopped in March. Two weeks ago my hair started falling out and it's getting worse. I am absolutely devastated having to cope with this on top of everything else.
