Peripheral neuropathy

Has anyone been diagnozed with this while on Leflunomide (Arava)? I've been taking this med for over a year and I can't tell when exactly when the tingling sensations started as I'm also on low-dose pregabalin and amitryptline (they can mask neuropathic pain)

Peripheral neuropathy

Wow :s I accidentally discovered I have peripheral neuropathy today when getting an EMG done for sciatica! Leflunomide (Arava) is the common culprit, so, as a result, I will need to stop it :// i'm afraid this will put my Humira regimen at risk. I've been on the combo for a year, and on Leflunomide 20mg for 2 years now.

The bottom of my feet often hurt when I walk for long distances and I was attributing this solely to residual PsA enthesitis despite the disease being overall controlled.

I feel numbness in my feet after sitting for long durations toilet, which i also thought was due to compressed nerves/sciatica or to the mild disc bulges I have in my lower spine. I do get tingling but it's rather episodic and random. Does anyone relate?
