Hi, just another newbie
Then he prescribed
Leflunomide
, which after only two pills made my stomach hurt and hair fall out. Now I am (still) on Minocycline/Methylpred. I still have flares, stiffness and pain, but no more morning crying, and I understand that this therapy takes time to work.

leflunomide has started to make me feel sick
I have been on
Leflunomide
for 2 weeks. To start with I felt really tired but no other problems. Then yesterday morning my stomach felt a bit rough. It wore off, but today it has been bad all day. I haven't been able to eat properly and have nausea and feel weak and washed out.

Anyone had a failed rotator cuff surgery? Did they suggest a reverse replacement and has anyone had one done? Did that fix the pain?
This is all getting me down, Im usually not too bad with accepting bad outcomes (they do happen a lot) but Ive just gone off the prednisone,
Leflunomide
and MTX Im in a horrible place painwise which makes me feel even worse.

leflunomide

Oh how stupid!
I picked up my
Leflunomide
on Saturday and popped it into the glove compartment of my husbands car. Today he went to London on business and guess where my pills are? Hmphh. Guess I'll just miss a dose and carry on tomorrow night.

New courses of treatment offered advise please Leflunomide-tablets Rituximab-injections Methotrexate-injections
I was doing amazingly well on Cimzia injectins but unfortunately I was very unlucky and had a very rare side-effect of pins and needles all over my body. This now means I can no longer have cimzia or any other Anti TNF drug which is very disappointing as I was doing so well on Cimza. However rather than

Leflunomide pain getting worse
They'd changed my meds from Mtx to
Leflunomide
. Have been taking it now for 7 weeks, but the pain seems to be getting worse. My hands and feet are so swollen and painful. Should the meds not be beginning to work by now?

Leflunomide, mad dreams and rising blood pressure
I'm into my 2nd week of
leflunomide
now after coming off mtx in January due to side effects. I've been feeling ok but having a few issues which concern me. The first thing I noticed were very vivid dreams.

Advice needed please.
I started taking
Leflunomide
Christmas time, and it worked so well it was like a miracle. Unfortunately I then started to get diarrhoea. I halved the dosage of my own back, but I still have stayed well, RA wise. Sadly the stomach problems have continued and worsened.

Really down
Am seeing rheumy nurse on Thurs re
Leflunomide
but worried cos one side effect is it can raise blood pressure. Having probs as lately BP has been all over the place. Will have to see. But it's hit me in the last week that RA gets worse. Up to now, I've lived with knowing that.

Counselling?
I went on to
leflunomide
, but that just made things worse. Practically overnight my achilles tendons were affected and then both knees. I've been injecting Enbrel for three months now, but it's not working magic. I have a lot of difficulty climbing stairs and walking.
