Low RBC

Anybody had problems with red blood count? Is it because of the methotrexate? Thanks.

Hi Deiniol

I was on methotrexate a few years ago.

I had to have blood tests every 2 weeks I then had a letter from the hospital to say that the methotrexate was affecting my RBC so I had to stop it immediately.

After stopping it my count went back to normal.

Hope this helps.
