I Had A Bad Flare Up About Two Weeks Ago So I Started On Hydroxycloroquine And Leflunomide Five Days Ago.

Today I have a blister on the inside of my mouth. Is this a common side effect or has anyone else experienced this?

Definitely talk with your rheumatologist because mouth ulcers can be a side effect of DMARDs. I'm on methotrexate and a biologic and my rheum proscribes folic acid to stave off side effects of the methotrexate.

HenryK,
Welcome!
Blisters can be a side effect. Whenever I get them, I hold some Lawry's seasoning salt on the blister and it usually goes right away. If it continues, or doesn't clear up you want to let your Rheumatologist know what is going on.

Since I got RA I believed that if I could find the trigger, I could reverse the effects. I was wrong. It comes and goes as it pleases.
