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.
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.
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.
Bitter melon is mainly used by ppl of Chinese or Phillipine ancestry so maybe someone will chime in about this melon. I know a family that uses it for alot of different ailments including diabetes. Here's a clip off of Pubmed.

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?
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!

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.
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?
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.
I and my friend went to a club to have some drink. We ask some beers and fruits. But when I eat a peice of melon. But when I eat it , I saw there was some blood on it. I thought, the server cut his hand and left some on the melon. If the sever is infected, I ate the melon with his blood, Is there any risk for me to get infected? the light in the room is dimed, So when I found the blood, I have ate most of the peice of melon. There were also some blood on the other piece of melon.
Drink lota of water, keep feet up, lower sodium intake.
Have you tried xenazine ( chemical name is tetrabenazine)? We've also found clonex gives some relief.
Oh I'm a Lil bit bigger than a knot lol I'm like a melon at the top n the lower stomach is soft !!!!
Possible 'Primary erythromelagia'-known to coexist with Raynaud's. Eating melon can precipitate this.
Best wishes.
Was it an article about the bloke that put melon on his bits and his partner unbeknown to him was allergic to melon? The reason she got the bad reaction was because she had been exposed to the melon when he touched her, because he had applied the juice to his private parts.
I offered a piece of fruit cake to my doctor one day and asked if he was allergic to nuts.
Recently I have found that I cant eat melon ... as much as I love the stuff I cant eat it ... is it possible that the baby doesnt like it and is telling my body that or could it be something else entirely?
Help please ... would love to get to the bottom of this one ...
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).
Size of a capsicum,, hahahaaa
I tried all the recommended solutions on the internet like Lemon juice, Asparagus and coke mixture,Beer, Ayurvedic tablets and Homeopathy. The thing that worked for me is the WATER MELON. I used to finish one big water melon in two days. I did it for one whole month and the stone moved from upper ureter to lower ureter in 15 days and I used to go to the restroom more frequently and last friday without any trouble, I passed it.
