256161 tn?1196879046 0) I was wondering if anyone here has taken Arava (Leflunomide) and their side effects? I started it almost 3 weeks ago for the RA and Sjogrens and have started to have nausea, hair loss, skin sensitivity, burning or tingling of skin, and restless legs (already had, but much worse now), vivid dreams, and torso pain like a cramping sensation in back and sides. I have read too much bad stuff about this medicine and I am hoping someone has had a good experience with it.
Avatar m tn I have an Auto Immune Disorder of the connective tissue as labeled by my Rheumatologist. I take Plaquenil 200mg, and Arava 20mg daily. I have been on the Plaquenil for over a year and the Arava for 5-6 months. I am still having flares and experiencing pain on a daily basis. I'm a 28 year old male. My tested positive for ANA but the doctor hasn't labeled me with Lupus. I see my Rheumatologist on the 18th of December and I'm looking for the next step in my treatment.
Avatar n tn i take the leflunomide (arava) but also take pills for the reflux, which does help. I take renitidine i believe it is called. I found it worked pretty good for the swelling myself. I am also on the Embrel, but still do not have R.A under control. I just wanted to say that the arava was the best drug i have taken up until i was put on the embrel. I live in B.
Avatar f tn Yes, it is normal. There are two types of men, growers and showers. You're a grower, that's for sure. Growers would have their penis grow when erected while showers just soften up.
Avatar n tn Prior to that she was on Arava for five months and it almost killed her. She lost 60 lbs, had heart issues, urinary tract infections, had no appetite and was incredibly weak. Her RA doctor said it was not the Arava. It was. I took her to the Lahey Cllinic and they confirmed it. I had taken her off the medication before going to the Lahey Clinic but it was a binding med. so it stayed in her system for months afterwards.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was recently diagnosed with psoriactic arthritis and the doctor put me on Arava. I've been on it for 4 weeks with no relief. In fact, the pain has increased in all of my joints and my toes have decided to join in on the fun as well. My question is has anyone had any experience with this drug in the amount of time it takes to start working? Is it usually immediate or does it take time to "build up" in your system before it begins to work?
Avatar f tn I know I have all the symptoms and do get worse when I am off of my Arava but I also wonder if I could have Lupus because I have a lot of the symptoms of it and my sister has it. My mother has fibro so I wonder if maybe that is what I have instead as well. Things are continuing to get get worse and my dr is wanting to start injection therapy for my symptoms. I just want to be sure I have ra before I begin these injections they really scare me!
Avatar n tn My pain hasnt been relieved totally with this med and the rheumatologist wants me to start on Arava in combination. Im scared of the hep c coming back with both of these meds. Opinions needed.
Avatar f tn My father has severe rheumatiod arthritis. He has been on a combination of Arava 20 mg ( Hydroxychloroquine) and Plaquenil (Leflunomide) . He has been going severly downhill since January and has lost 40 pounds, has constant mucous drainage that he chokes on especially after meals, and has severe shortness of breath. Can these symptoms be a result of the medications he is taking? Is it safe for him to take two synthetic DMARDS at the same time?
Avatar f tn Thanks. I HATE drug side effects stories. My elderly mom's hgb dropped to 8.5 on Arava (for rheumatoid arthritis), I had a personality change on Ambien (so bubbly I couldn't even stand myself). We have to really be on the watch every time we add a new medication. I worry the most about people who require multiple meds. Think I will start taking B-12. Thanks again.
Avatar n tn Have you tried xenazine ( chemical name is tetrabenazine)? We've also found clonex gives some relief.
163305 tn?1333668571 The high court left intact Monday a federal appeals court decision that threw out a 2011 lawsuit from the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association and over 80 other plaintiffs against Monsanto that sought to challenge the agrochemical company’s aggressive claims on patents of genetically-modified seeds. The suit also aimed to curb Monsanto from suing anyone whose field is contaminated by such seeds.
Avatar f tn OK tthere are growers and showers, a grower can be anything small, some guy just have the head showing but when erect can be an 8 incher, and you can get a guy who has a limp p***s of say 6 1/2 but when erect its the same 8 inch, see growers and showers, and yes women love to see a good boner, but if you ever get to a natuist beach, you will see them all sizes. so tell your g/f you are a grower, and its just nature at work, being were all differant.
Avatar n tn Not uncommon. Penises undergo a multitude of conformational changes between flaccid and erect. Some just get fatter and stand up; others (often large ones) just stay the same size and stand up; then, there's the "Growers, not showers" ...etc. If you are concerned about the length of your penis, my advice is to shut off the porn and the TV.
Avatar f tn Hey all, I am 27 years old and have a history of a laparotomy removing part of my Right ovary and the dermoid associated with it (2 1/2 years ago), and then a laparoscopic appendectomy one year later... AND now it was found that I have a second large dermoid (now on the Left) and located behind my uterus, along with a large 'complex' cyst on the Right. The dermoid on the right is pressing on my colon and pushing it toward the Right (not comfortable I tell ya!
1377560 tn?1278914331 I had a sonogram and a Hida scan (sp?) They told me I had Fatty Liver, to lose weight and to stop taking my Arava. I did and levels went back down. This was maybe a year ago. Now it is back and it sometimes it makes me sick to my stomach and I have a lot of gas. Also, my bowel movements are mostly yellow soft to almost runny (sorry). My urine is bright yellow almost neon. Recently, my husbands ins plan changed and we have to pay a lot more now.
Avatar m tn From what I know, different pit tumors have different rates. Usually they are slow growers but the larger ones can be non-functioning and can be fast growers. You need a pituitary center.
Avatar m tn Hi Bjorn, look you come under growers, it works like this there are growers and showers, 2 guys, guy 1 his p***s when slack is only 1 inch, and guy 2 has a slack p***s of 5 inchs, but when both erect they have 6 inchs, hence growers and showers, I do hope this explaines it. Good Luck ps there is a site if I can find it I will come back.
Avatar n tn All you need to tell them that there are growers and showers, ie this means that to men can be the same when erect, but some guys only show perhaps there head and the other guy can hang out a good 4 to 5 inchs, but when erect both have 6 inchs, do hope this answers your question.
Avatar f tn About 1 week after stopping MTX, I stopped my folinic acid and my hair loss seems to be worse and also my nails are splitting and my tongue is sore. ( I also had 2 Remicaid infusions 2 months ago in August and 1 week of Arava in May and am on Plaquenil (past 4 months and for awhile in the past).
Avatar m tn You're making the same mistake that most guys make. Don't compare yourself to other guys you see in the locker room. There is no connection between how big it is when it's flacid (soft) and when it's erect (hard). In fact, smaller flacid penises usually grow a lot more than a big one during an erection. In other words, you can have a 2 inch soft one that will grow to a 6 inch erection, and that guy you see in the locker room with a 5 inch soft will grow to 5.5 inches.
Avatar n tn However just a piece of info I heard recently about boys/Men in General, Some are Growers and Some are showers.

870180 tn?1269815819 Even with IVF sometimes implantation takes longer and sometimes we have slow growers! I hope that everything turns out well for you and your beanie!
158939 tn?1274915197 are you on any other medications? i was also on arava when i started the humira and got a terrible rash on my hands and feet. i stopped the arava, took cholestyramine to get it out of my system. rash went away. still taking humira. no more rash, so that's good, but i'm not sure where these twitches are coming from. they started about three weeks ago. i'm so sorry you've been having this reaction. sounds like you've had quite a history. i wish you the best. hang in there.
Avatar f tn I do get the cramoing sometimes for a day or two after the enjection. With the embrel the cramps do go away. I also take arava so maybe the combination of the drugs. Hope it it gets better.
Avatar m tn Examples would include Methotrexate, Imuran, Arava and Plaquenil. Another approach you may want to try is to have the doctor add a medication to protect her stomach and keep her on the Lefora since it is controlling her arthritis.
