Your experience while taking LEFLUNOMIDE ?

Posted by lindaadele @lindaadele, 2 days ago

How long did it take for you to get relief from taking luflunomide? This will be my second time on this medication first time my stomach wasn’t fantastic from it I’m hoping that this time is going to work better. So far my doctor started me two months ago on a lower dose 1 mg which two months later I don’t feel any relief I’m just wondering how long did it take for you to find any relief from the flutamide now I’m taking 2 mg a day hoping for some relief soon! Bottom line is I almost feel sorry for my Rheumatologist because I’m one of those people weren’t nothing works any kind of medication doesn’t work for me. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated thank you very much!

@lindaadele What is your diagnosis?
How is your diet and your weight? I've had RA for over 25 years. I've found eating a really healthy whole food diet, rarely eating any junk food or drinking pop, and keeping my weight down really helps those meds work better.
I am also someone who has had issues with not tolerating meds for one reason or another.
