arava
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.
s because it sits about in the crook (if you look at the map). Or, it could be b/c it smells. Lots of dairies around that place. Bakersfield's roots are heavy in Country Western. Merle Haggard and Buck Owens are from there. Courtney music probably put it on the map. Agriculture is also heavy. Carrots, broccoli, onions, potatoes, almonds, olives, cotton and oranges are grown there or the surrounding areas. Just look at a bag of Bunny Love Carrots, they're from Bakersfield.
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.
Can I take spring valley iron pills while pregnant?
If a heart beat travels through the center of the heart, can an ablation prodcedure really stop the electric pathway to the spot of the PVC?? I asked this because I had an ablation and I still have the same PVC'S!
Wouldn't it make sense that the spot of the PVC on the lower right of the heart is really where the electric pulse gets shorted out and therefore cannot be ablated?
I started taking a one a day potassium 99 mg from Spring Valley. Now my PVC's are better.
Have you tried xenazine ( chemical name is tetrabenazine)? We've also found clonex gives some relief.
I have just read about something called Valley Fever its a fungal infection not certain if I have had it, similar symptoms ..
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).
Yeah I had read an article talking about the MAP bacteria being a possible cause for crohns and colitis. but there was no definate answer. Now when you say "you changed everything" what all did you have to do? did you take any of the MAP antibiotics? i wonder why doctors wouldnt perscribe the MAP antibiotic right off the bat. I'd love to know how you found relief. Thank you for your response and I do look forward to hearing from you.
I live in the Lehigh Valley and there are none I am aware of....your best bet is to go to a true Chiari specialist (NS) and let them guide you...I went to NY.
There are Drs in MD, FL, etc....depends on where you can travel with your medical INS......
The NS's will know who to refer you to....but most have their own NL they work with.
I tried to get one at Lehigh Valley Hospital and they were clueless and not very cooperative.
