I guess the Rheumatologist is adding Leflonimide to the Teyenne. I've see a lot of people on here are on this. Can you let me know how this has helped or not?

I do but my rheumatologist saw my mri and there was a lot more inflammation in my bones of my fingers that’s what’s causing the pain the swelling pins and needles I’ve cut a lot of stuff out even lost 15 lbs. but my dr is now sending a pre authorization to my insurance for Enbrel which I heard is a really good biologic just hoping I can afford after my deductible goes back to 0$ in January.
Lauren, you could try and get help with your portion. There are grants for certain things. I have to pay a lot for my immunoglobulin infusion, but I make payments to the hospital. On my Teyenne I can get on the monthly payment for prescriptions through my insurance. On the Repatha I have a grant.
Anyone had there fingers swell up like sausages and it feels like you’ve sprained your wrist and the pain doesn’t go away
It is probably a "safer" dose. I feel great today, so I'm hoping the lower dose won't affect the efficaciousness of the drug. Time will tell. When I started the 20mg dose, I felt better in less than two weeks. It stays in your system for two years, so I think I've got some "banked" leflo in my system still.
Hi Carol, 20I5 took it for 8 weeks and didn't help at all.... I hope it helps you!! 👍💕
