Hi all.
haven’t been on here in ages, but you have been in my thoughts.
I did get to a good place with my pain meds, but recently had to stop them because my liver enzymes weren’t happy. A month on and my bloods have returned to ok, so have started back on my Leflunomide with more blood tests next week to see if it is that that has caused the problem. If not it’s probably the methotrexate. So it might be back to the drawing board for me.

Hoping everyone is doing ok.

    Morning @Woofy and welcome back.

    Sorry to hear you having side affects with bloods but totally understand I was the same after starting MTX had to come off due to liver enzymes.

    Now awaiting new Yuflyma injections just got to get more blood tests and chest xrays done and hopefully start soon.

    Take care @Naomi33

    Hi @Naomi33

    Is that a biological injection that you are going to be taking? My rheumatologist has mentioned biologicals in the past.

    I have heard great stories about them. I just want to stay out of pain as much as possible. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

    Hi Woofy I am doing ok thanks for asking.

    I am sorry to hear you are still having these hiccups finding the right medication for you. I do hope the liver stops misbehaving soon.

    Take care
