Has anyone been prescribed Leflunomide?
I saw my Rheumy today and after being on Methotrexate for 18 months, he's finally decided it's not working for me. The next step is to go for Rituximab but I have to have failed to respond to 2 treatments before I can get it.
Anyhow, I'm now dropping the MTX and have to try Leflunomide (Arava)- just wonder if anyone else had tried it and what your experiences might be.
Just scared myself witless by looking the side effects up on Wikipedia (yes, I know I should know better!):hehe:
All thoughts gratefully received!
