Re: Re: arava & BP elevations

[Guest guest]

It was probably a month to six weeks.  It stays in your system and builds up

over time.  I did not realize what was happening at first.  I just noticed that

when exerting any I would feel flushed and slightly short of breath.  My BP has 

always been really low 90/60 range and when I check it it was 140/86.  Needless

to say I discontinued the arava and now  my BP is back down to my normal range

but it took a few weeks for it to get back down.

stinks since it was working. It always has to be something doesn't

it.
