Changed to leflunomide

[Caroline]

After my last trip to the rheumy, i've been swapped from Sulfasalazine to leflunomide. 
fingers crossed it is more successful 

i am also being scheduled in for a shot to my thumb, have others had much success with steroid injections? my thumb is pretty much useless now and i'm hoping the shot will let me at least be able to move it

Yes, I have had one in my finger. It hurts but it did help quickly. The finger is still slightly stiffer than my other fingers. In the end, the treatment with DMF did more for my finger(s) than the steroid shots.
