arava

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 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 Though non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAID) and steroids are the gold standard of treatment, more emphasis should be laid on physical and occupational therapy, rest, heat pads and use of assistive devices for walking. Biological response modifiers like etanercept, leflunomide (used less often), adalimumab, or infliximab can be added in consultation with doctor.

Avatar m tn At the age of 33, one day I was fine, healthy etc. Went to bed and the next morning woke up with excruciating pain deep inside my r/knee area. Couldn't get out of bed or walk. That was the start of my (disease)? Went to an orthopedist. Got cortisone injection, gave me anti-inflammatories, sent me home told me to rest. Pain never went away, but it subsided a bit. Pain flared up again after about a month, ortho referred me to rheumatologist. More anit-inflammatories for a while.

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.

198419 tn?1360242356 Aubagio (pronounced oh-BAH-gee-oh) is a novel oral compound that inhibits the function of specific immune cells that have been implicated in MS. It is related to leflunomide, a drug used to treat arthritis. Aubagio can inhibit a key enzyme required by white blood cells (lymphocytes), reducing the proliferation of T and B immune cells active in MS and also inhibiting the production of immune messenger chemicals by T cells.
Avatar m tn So very tired, and insomnia and everything. and forgot to take my pm dose of lamitrogine. I had a .... rash - and above the neck! but it was like that sunburn rash I used to get years and years ago, so I decided after copious amounts of research on the internet that I would keep it at 75mg for a couple of days and go up to 100. Because I am not taking lithium or anything else that makes me sleep or put on weight. Just no.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend had heart surgery 4 weeks ago and few days ago a rash appeard on his lower right leg. It does itch and is very red. Not sure what this could be. There are no other rashes on his body. Can anyone help? I am stumped.

2091106 tn?1332817998 I'm calling it a rash, but I don't really know what it is. I took a picture of it and downloaded it as my profile picture. It itches and is a redish color. I have had it for a couple months and it hasn't gone away. I have been using Triamcinolone Acetonide cream from someone, but it hasn't helped. I don't have any money to see a doctor so any help would be great.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a sunburn like rash all over my face which burns I also have pink eyes which have bags under them they are also quite bloodshot in the mornings I have tried everything I can think of I was just wondering if anyone would be able to suggest what could be causing this as I am at the end of my tether now.
Avatar f tn My 13 month old son has a rash on his hands, feet, & legs, I tried to look in his mouth and didn't see anything, but couldn't keep his mouth open long.. He also has some mild redness on his butt & has not been eating well. There is nothing on his stomach or neck and only a few little red spots around his mouth.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else got a red rash covering there belly?
Avatar f tn I am 39 weeks 5 days... I have developed a rash. I have eczema normally in the winter / change of seasons, but this is CRAZY. The doctor said they didn't think it was PUPP, but I am COVERED. I have tried the steroid cream the Dr gave me, calamine lotion, oatmeal bath, benedryl (which knocks me out cold for hours), witch hazel, cold compress and even baking soda paste oh and coconut oil. Nothing seems to ease the itch and if it does in one place it comes out in another. Any suggestions?!
Avatar f tn Over the past couple of days, I've developed a rash. It's right where my bra hits, so underneath my breasts and in between them. It's annoying more than anything. I'm already top heavy before getting pregnant, probably about 36F, so on top of the girls hurting with pregnancy, they are now itchy. Also, no bra is not an option. Nothing has changed other than I'm now pregnant. No changes to laundry soap or bath soap or anything. Suggestions to help?!
Avatar f tn Is it normal to get a rash on my lower stomach? It itches like crazy and I have little red bumps all along the bottom of my Stomach :/ I haven't ate anything different, took any medication, or used any new lotions or perfume.
Avatar f tn t work so I tried lotrimin and it seemed to clear up in a day. This red rash lasted for four days. I saw my dermatologist when I got back home, but by this time it was already healing. I showed her pictures and she said that it looked like a fungal infection with intertrigo. I'm negative for hsv 2 at 16 weeks, so I know it's not that. I am positive for hsv 1 though, have been a for a couple years. Does this sound like an hsv 1 genital infection? What does this sound like?
Avatar m tn I have a red itchy rash at the bottom of my scrotum that burns. I have also noticed many small white bumps there. I think it may be herpes but the thing is I'm a virgin and I don't even know if it's possible for me to have it.
Avatar f tn Hey guys I'm 34 weeks and 2days. I have a rash all over my stomach and its really itchy. Has anyone else had this issue? If so anything I can get to put on it for relief?

Avatar f tn I'm 25w2d and I have had the rash for a month I've been to my ob twice my primary 3 times a walk in clinic once and the er twice. It's nothing like an allergic reaction and it's not infections or harming me or the baby just annoying the poo out of me. It's a type of dermatitis due to me having super dry sensitive skin and being pregnant so it's basically a pregnancy related/caused dermatitis..
