What to do next?!!!!
He wants to try
Leflunomide
, but I have rather high or erratic blood pressure even taking my meds, so he's not willing to do this unless my blood pressure can be better controlled. The final thing he did say was that it is probably diabetic neuropathy and my fibromyalgia causing these symptoms.

Frustration with NHS resolved (nearly )
Following on from my first post " frustration with NHS " I was possibly going to be left high and dry without any of my new medication (
Leflunomide
) because my GP would not prescribe any more as he had not received a letter of authority from the hospital.

Frustrated with NHS service
I started on
Leflunomide
on 25th November via the Rheumatology Specialist Nurse at the hospital. She said she would write to my GP to inform them of my new medication, to ask them to keep a regular check on my blood pressure and to ask for this med to be put onto my prescription list.

Leflunomide
Hi my rheumy has decided not to start methotrexate injections but to stay on 25mg weekly and add in 10mg daily of
Leflunomide
to see if it helps my symptoms. Can anyone give me any advice on this drug please?

Asthma
I changed to
leflunomide
and Humira last June. And I have had multiple courses of prednisone. Last month I had my first asthma attack ever. I first thought I was having a heart problem, but a pulmonary test confirmed lung inflammation/ asthma.

really struggling
I have had a lot of problems with not tolerating medication, methotrexate,
leflunomide
, and I have had steroids at different times. On Tuesday I had my first injection of Enbrel. Yesterday I felt so depressed and tearful can having Enbrel make depression and anxiety worse?

Starting etanercept.
Over the last 10 months, I have tried sulfasalazine, methotrexate and
leflunomide
. Each of these have been moderately successful in controlling my condition but each have come with some serious side effects which meant each had to be discontinued.

leflunomide
for the past 6 months with no real issue and have slowly started feeling 'normal' again with little / managable pain. This morning however Ive been told to stop the

leflunomide
My rheumy started me on
leflunomide
. Has it worked for anyone on here and does hair loss seem to be a side effect?

See, I knew I was right. It's RA flare not OA!
Will then arrange for me to go onto
Leflunomide
. It has felt like a marathon getting to this point with me making all the running but I am glad I am now getting somewhere. I knew I was not totally convinced with the OA diagnosis and I am pleased I chased it up.

An update on Leflunomide
I have now been on 20mgs of
Leflunomide
for over 6 months. This is supposed to be helping me to reduce the Pred. as I can never get past 10mgs without a flare.

Hip pain like I've never experienced before!!
I have sero neg RA and Fibromyalgia and am on a cocktail of meds inc hydroxychloraquine and
leflunomide
. I have had steroid injections in both hips before! But when I explained where the pain was I was told it wasn't my hip joint (thankfully) but my tendons, so had them injected and felt fab again!

Leflunomide and possible nerve damage?
Has anyone had nerve damage in their feet whilst on
Leflunomide
? I was taken off it 3 months ago in case it was the cause. So far haven't noticed any change but I think maybe it takes longer to get out of ones system. I'd be interested to hear of anything similar.
