Subject: Re: Leflunomide... Anyone on this?
Hello Again, MTX side effects ? Yes. Mouth ulcers which come and go and fatique. I take MTX on Mondays and I find that for the next 4 days I'm really very very tired to the extent that I could quite easily stay in bed. One of the symptoms of Psoriatic Arthritis is tiredness anyway so when the MTX cuts in I feel totally washed out. I was on 20mg of MTX, but the Rheumatologist has suggested dropping it to 17.5, then 15 and then maybe down to 10mg to try and find a dose that suits me. The first thing she tried was Sulphasalazine, but the side effects were so bad I came off them. So far my fortnightly blood test results are ok. Just have to see how it goes. Hope your husband gets on ok with the leflunomine.
