Oh well that's the third drug I've tried and suffered side effects from :roll:
Himself has decided that he will 'keep me going' with joint injections until they decide what other 'poison' to give me :lol::lol:
I was quite shocked to be informed that when being scored for anti-tnf's you are scored from the knees up :shock: :???: and dear ol' arthur mainly affects my feet :???: :sad:
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!
Best wishes

    oh dear jacqui
    I am sorry you have had to stop the leflunomide. I hope the injections give you some relief and that you can find a med to suit you soon,

    Have a good weekend and take care

    I saw a friend at the pool yesterday who manged opnly a couple of days on it rash and the two-bob-bots, but some people really benefit.

    It is wrong the 'scoring' that way isn't it? Mad!

    A lot of us go 'feet first'

    Love

    Wot, she was excreting robots? OUCH! I had lef for a while and had carcking headaches from it. Ghastly stuff (but it does work for some). So much of this is trial and error until you find the silver bullet for your vampire version of arthritis. DD
