Has anyone had a reaction to Arava??? I just spent a couple of days in the hospital due to dehydration from vomiting my guts out. To avoid being real graphic, I'll just say the liver was really taxed in this episode. No other symptoms. I had just started the drug and completed the mega dosing as prescribed, and on the first day of my normal dose, it hit the fan. There is the stomach flew going around, but the Doc said I didn't match the symptoms, and was "most likely" a reaction to the new drug. As a result, I'm not taking any DMARD and my next Rheumy appointment is in the middle of January (remicade infusion) and I seem to be going down hill fast. Just interested if this is a fluke, or there is something to it. Thoughts please..
