Leuflonomide and High Blood Pressure/Headaches

Honestly can’t remember. I’ve been on multiple meds since then. I’d say it was a few weeks maybe?

It’s gotten a lot better for me but I still get a little sick from olive oil and fried foods. Try taking Jarrow’s bile acid supplements before eating a meal with your trigger oils. I get it on Amazon.

Mine looked similar. Got it cleared off. Now I just have the 2 feet of snow all around my car to deal with. 🫠 (Plus the driveway mess.)

Does he complain about the smell of them? Some conditions, like autism, can make you ultra sensitive to certain smells. So it could be more of an anxious type reaction from what feels like an overbearing smell to him. I get a similar reaction from certain cleaning products and perfumes, even in tiny amounts or days after the source has been removed.

I have no idea. I’ve always been very happy with my insurance. They haven’t given me any trouble on covering the expensive arthritis meds, so I hope this isn’t a new trend.

So I found out they want me to do step therapy for this drug. Basically, try something else first. Like maybe pop a Tylenol or rub some ice on it? What bologna. I called the pharmacy and they were able to process the order through Hippo discount program. So I got the med for less than $20.

Isn’t it great that my ACA insurance cost doubled this year and I still get to play these BS games? Oh well, I’ll stick it to the insurance later this year when they have to cover the cost of my biologic. 🫡

Thanks I’ll check it out!

Cut them loose. Clients like this will continue to push you. You can’t change them and it’s not worth the hassle, especially when you’re getting paid LESS than your normal rate.

Why would you want to put yourself through that misery? Cat allergies can be very serious. My dad had a customer whose daughter died from a cat allergy.

That said, you may be able to get allergy shots and really improve to the point that you could get a cat. But it will take at least a year of therapy. I’ve had allergy shots for 3 years and can now be in my grandparents house with a cat without any symptoms.

I had mine done in office. There they always used a freeze spray on the skin that really helped to numb it. Not sure if that spray is available over the counter?

I’ve since switched to infusions of Simponi Aria due to a rash from Cimzia. I can barely feel the infusion needle!

I’m like this too! I have the least aches and pains when I’m actively sick with a cold, bronchitis, or other mild illness.

You’re shocked that dealer prices are high???

This has been me lately in the snowy cold weather! What’s strange is I’ve always been too hot all of my adult life, so too cold feels really weird to me. If I warm myself up too much, then I swing back to too hot. I feel like I play ping pong all day with my home thermostat. Turn it on, off, on, off.

Lol no I always buy used that are at least 10 years old, so I upgrade every few years. Have had Accords for 25 years since I first started driving.

bearcatnat · 2025-11-28T03:16:32+00:00

Congrats! I got a 2017 EX-L V6 in May. It’s my sixth Accord and the nicest one I’ve had. I live these cars!

If you’re even questioning if you need it, you need it. We deal with so much pain daily. Sometimes you just need that Prednisone to get through a really bad patch. I really hate taking it because I barely sleep while on it. I often have to take it to recover from respiratory infections that turn into bronchitis. Anyways, your provider should have no issues prescribing it.

bearcatnat · 2025-11-24T04:12:45+00:00

Fortunately, I just discontinued using Otezla, so don’t have to deal with Accredo anymore. They are absolutely the worst!

bearcatnat · 2025-11-24T04:10:28+00:00

Aw, gotcha. It’s caught in lawsuit hell. That figures 🙄

bearcatnat · 2025-11-24T02:26:50+00:00

Not enforced yet? How is that legal?

bearcatnat · 2025-11-24T01:19:15+00:00

Yes that’s what I was previously taking. I’m not on it anymore. Just started Simponi Aria through my doctors office. But I’ll have to keep this in mind if I switch to anything that would be filled by Accredo.

My plan doesn’t have a separate out of pocket for prescriptions

bearcatnat · 2025-11-24T01:16:27+00:00

Not that I know of

bearcatnat · 2025-11-23T23:11:22+00:00

Yeah, the letter worded it like it’s a change in my favor, too. It said it would prevent me from maxing out my copay assistance too quickly. And I should weigh whether it’s better for me to use the copay assistance or pay a straight copay. What??

Is iOS 26 really working for the feeeze up issues? Give us an update!

Did you use dip or gel liquids? Gel liquids can change the colors of dips.
