"One year on Arava so far. Has greatly improved joint pain. The side effects I have noticed are some skin lesions, thinning eyebrows, migraine headache increase, and elevated liver enzymes. It has given me back movement, which is important for overall health. I will take the side effects compared to ruined joints for now. I did have liver enzymes normal a week after steroid shop for a bad headache. I would think the medication could reduce swelling in the liver."

"I have been taking Arava for almost 2 years. I have recently developed very high blood pressure and I'm not sure if Arava is the cause of it. We have picked up that it increased my cholesterol."

"It worked wonderfully for several years until I got a tooth infection. I had to go off Arava for the antibiotics to kill the infection. Sadly, when I returned to Arava, it no longer worked for me."

"This medicine gave me very bad indigestion, acid reflux, and severe nausea. My doctor cut me down to one pill every other day and it did cut all of these effects basically out."

"I have been on Arava for three years now. I have not had any adverse side effects. Every so often my thumb hurts, and I have to use a pain cream, but that is my only complaint."

"I could not take it, stomach problems and barfing. I am very allergic to sulfa, penicillin, and Bioxen, do not know if that had something to do with it."
