Re: Doctor putting me on Arava Diane

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane:

I was on Arava for about six months. It worked well

with the Mtx I was already on. However, the Arava did

cause me some stomach issues, diarrhea and the like,

and by the end of the time I was on it, I was

developing a peripheral neuropathy, so I discontinued

the Arava. The stomach problems, and the PN went away

in a few months after discontinuing Arava, but it does

stay in your system for a long time after you have

stopped it. I hope that it helps you, and causes you

no problems, others have had good results with it.

Wish I could have kept taking it, as it was helping.
