Does anyone know of RA medications that do not mess with your liver? I'm trying to research options since it looks like I'm going to have to stop methotrexate as it is irritating my liver.
Xeljenz has done well for me so far no side effects, blood work good, almost been a year since I started this pill 2 x day and off all other RA meds🐞
Same with me. Humira causes no side effects for me . I feel better than I have in years and my blood work has been good.
I was also recommended Tofactinib. Have another lab check next week before any decision is made.
Glad to hear others have had luck on Humira, but it elevated my liver enzymes. My doctor has looked for meds that wouldn't and I'm now on orencia for almost a year with no issues. They will want you to at least try humira first, as it has been around longer so they know more about it.
I had to stop taking methotrexate a year ago but still take Plaquenil and use Boswellia Seratta & Cats Claw. They really help me.
