#rheumatoidearthritis A rheumatologist told me once about the trade-off in meds like #methotrexate, #leflunomide etc -- they knock off maybe 5 years of your life in exchange for an increased mobility, less inflammation, maybe a few more years of less pain etc? There seem to have been periods in my life, where the meds are really embedded down after months of use, where the trade-off seems to be worth it. Thats with Lefl. Other periods (such as now), I'm not so sure.
