I was diagnosed with RA yesterday after an initial diagnosis of PMR. Was tapering off of Prednisone but symptoms kept returning. Restarting Prednisone at 20 mg and adding Leflunomide. Can anyone share their experiences with this drug?

@spiker Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! This is Mayo Clinic’s information on Leflunomide:

There are quite a few discussions about RA, but none specially about Leflunomide, but you could certainly ask your question in other groups and someone may come forward.
How are you doing on Leflunomide? Are side effects a problem?

Get off of ALL refined sugar. You will be amazed. I do not take meds because I stopped ALL refined sugar.
