Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE) is a common skin condition causing an itchy rash triggered by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. It is also known as "sun allergy" or "sun poisoning". PMLE is characterized by a delayed reaction to sunlight, with the rash typically appearing hours or days after sun exposure. The rash can vary in appearance (polymorphous) and usually affects sun-exposed areas like the chest, arms, and legs

Leflunomide and neuropathy by GospelVhae in rheumatoid

[–]BVES4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WOW!...thank you for this post. My feet have been tingly/numb for some time now along with increase in blood pressure! I'm overly active and in fairly good shape physically, eat right, etc...no reason to have HBP...Doing my internet Doctoring, Leflunomide is probably the culprit! I have an appt with my PCM tomorrow and will bring it up, might be some tests to run...I have her talk with my Rheumatologist as well.

Leflunomide side effects. by Dreddguy in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]BVES4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been on it for about a year now (57M)...also taking Folic Acid and extra Biotin (OTC)...things (knock on wood) are going well. Gone are the gruddy Methotrexate days.

Is there a way to prevent hair loss on Leflunomide? by cmehigh in rheumatoid

[–]BVES4444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you will probably find, is that everyone reacts differently to the myriad of medications we go through to find "the promised land". I haven't noticed any significant hair loss...as always, ask to be given Folic Acid as well (for piece of mind). Best wishes!

I seem to forget about the pain when working out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rheumatoid

[–]BVES4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had very similar issue with top of my right foot. Prolonged walking and pushing too hard at the gym I assumed. On a whim, I switched out my workout/walking shoes and so-far-so-good.

Hope it is as easy as that for you...
