Subject: Suffering from RA and terrible sore throat & glands

Hi

Six weeks ago I stopped taking MTHX due to the side effects. I have RA and I'm sure the disease is now affecting my throat as I've been suffering from terrible sore throats lately. It feels like I have mumps, its so painful to swallow and feels really glandy and it makes my ears sore too like an infection is going to start.

I've just started taking Leflunomide today, I just hope it kicks in quickly. Its bad enough with the joints ceizing up, having the painful neck and throat on top is horrible.

Does anyone else get this too???

Thanks

Sue
