leflunomide and diarrhoea
I now have pretty awful diarrhoea from the
Leflunomide
, going to hang in there because the plan is for it to take over from Pred. Just wondered if anyone could cheer me up by saying it will stop [i]eventually[/i]. Been on it just over 2 weeks.

Leflunomide no more
She prescribed a 10 day dose of Olystr which she claims will help flush the
leflunomide
out of my system a little quicker. Just wanted to share in case you run into the same issue.

LEFLUNOMIDE - any info on side effects?
After 4 years of no meds at all, he's started me on
Leflunomide
. So far I've just felt a bit tired in the afternoon but that's fairly normal for me, but I've just noticed about 3 or 4 white spots on the roof of my mouth. I don't know if I've burnt my mouth or it's something else.

A NEW SYMPTOM, IS IT LEFLUNOMIDE CAUSING IT
They did question if maybe
leflunomide
could be part of the problem. Currently I feel it is a head cold, runny nose, watery eyes. Has anyone else developed oxygen level drops? I have never had a problem before I broke my ribs.

What are the risks of using Benepali (Etanercept) in relation to possibly getting Lymphoma ,Leukemia, skin cancers or serious infections ?
I could not tolerate methotrexate or
leflunomide
. I am mid seventies and my wrists and knuckles are badly damaged ,having had RA for around 45 years. The pain I get is more of an ouch than an ache and my wrists are weak, swollen and tender. He is concerned that my tendons might rupture.

Has anyone heard this before?
I did get some help from Methotrexate and
leflunomide
over the last few years. Rheumy discharged me early this year. However I wasn't feeling great recently and asked to see a rheumatologist again.

Has anyone experienced blurred vision with
Leflunomide
please and did it improve over time? Ive been on initial low dose for just over 2 weeks and my vision is very blurred. Had eye check and new glasses within last month so im suspecting the Lef.

Leflunomide making me a lot worse?????
Started the
leflunomide
, I am on 23.5 pred, rheumy is myopic about getting my pred dose down. So I eventually agreed. So now the strange thing is I have very increased fatigue and am dizzy when I stand up. But then this afternoon my pain intensified....and it had been settling down finally.

Leflunomide v methotrexate
My rheum consultant is keen to replace my 15mg a week of mtx with
leflunomide
. My inflammation levels have been higher in the last few months but I’m not sure what the advantage of the swap would be? I am also on a low dose of sulfasalazine. Any experiences on here please?

Leflunomide
I am about to start on
Leflunomide
after being on Prednisolone for 11 years. I would be interested to hear how other people have got on with it. Also I understand it lowers your immune response and wonder if this is more than happens with Pred. Thanks

Leflunomide
Today my rheumy told me that as I was so unsuccessful in reducing I should change to
Leflunomide
. Does anyone know about this drug. I don’t think I’ve seen it on the forum.

so much pain.
I was on Mtx for several years & it didn’t help so I was changed to
Leflunomide
back in February & that isn’t helping. I have been waiting for a shoulder replacement all year & it has now dislocated. The surgeon is going to try to put me on his list for the op for this Thursday.

6 Jabs, always careful re masking up….now positive…MTX Subcut & Leflunomide
Do others stop the
Leflunomide
? I should be taking it tonight before bed, so won’t take it…..hopeless trying to contact Rheumy, GP can’t advise….maybe CMDU or 111 will help when they contact me.

perforated septum - RArelated
Medicine wise, I had methotrexate for my RA but it made me ill and then I had a period of time nothing offered I was happy to take, then I was given steroid and hydroxychloroquine, which got me out of flare up and took away pain quite quickly, and now I have been on
leflunomide
and steroid only as

Further to leflunomide and anti inflammatory diet question
An update on my short dabble with
leflunomide
. On advice from rheumie following my non compliance with methotrexate and my 'too slow' taper with prednisone, I started taking 10mg
leflunomide
. This was 7 weeks ago and the result? I have given up following high blood pressure and daily diarrhoea.
