Recently diagnosed with RA been struggling for 5 years for answers

ughhh where to begin. I’m not liking these med trials. Methotrexate caused side effects and now I think leflunomide is causing side effects. If it were tolerable it would be fine but it’s not. Has anyone gotten sores on their face or felt extremely emotional and overall feeling sick? My pain feels different but still very much there.
By the way I’m new here!!!


I’ve also noticed different treatment in different countries. I’d appreciate thoughts on that?
