@donna2008 I had reactive arthritis (aka Reiter's syndrom) in 1989-90. It hasn't recurred. Before stopping your meds, it would be good to talk with your rheumatologist, or get a second oppinion. A dermatologist if your skin issues are treatable is good. It is important to get all the facts, advantages, side effects, clinical trials. Some meds work for us, some don't. Potential collateral damage from RA can be bad, so finding what works is important. Traditional RA meds have mostly focused on suppressing one's immune response, and some take a few months/med adjustment to start to work. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/20778-leflunomide-tablets
