A cautionary tale...
It all seemed to make sense as the nurse tried to explain it to me and so I will no longer be on MTX but can take a break till the new year and then I have to try
Leflunomide
instead.

Steroid Injections....
Mtx didnt work and made me ill,
leflunomide
not working and side effects, steroid tablets made me ill too, got to laugh! Is there any reason you cant just have steroid injections long term? Are there reasons/side effects long term or is it down to cost?

Has anyone taking Leflunomide experienced hair loss as a side effect?
MY RA consultant suggested I try this as the Hyrdoxychloroquine & Sulfasalazine don't appear to be working as well. However, I experienced slight hair thinning with Methotexate & am concerned this will happen with Leflunimide as apparently this is a possible side effect.

Ra or Osteoarthritus in the jaw
took me off methatrexate and has put me on a daily dose of
Leflunomide
,as in his words I was highly active,(chance would be a fine thing I retorted.)This seems to be doing nothing,but its only been 4 weeks so I have to be patient according to him.

Leflunomide (arava)
After having no luck on mtx i'm now on arava. Told rheumy nurse at first appointment i only have 1 kidney. Does anyone know if arava affects kidneys? They said i would be ok on mtx with kidney but nothing mentioned when i changed to arava....... Will try to remember to ask at next appointment

By the way, I'm also on Methotrexate and
Leflunomide
along with usual painkillers! Thanks for any forthcoming help!
