RA Blood levels.

I had my Rheumatology appointment yesterday and instead of going to the Dr's today for my blood test I had them done at the hospital. Only to get a phone call from the Dr's this morning to say my levels all all over the place and not to good so I have to go in and have them all checked again. So much for trying not to spend all week going between to the hospital and the Dr's.

Hi Shell I am not to shore whats gone wrong I was have asleep when the Dr's phoned (I was still in bed) she just rattled off so much, sounds like every thing is off the scale. But I'm not surprised as I am having a flare up at the moment. I am also on mtx and a lot of pain killers (ha ha).

Mtx can do all sorts but they do keep an eye on us that's the main thing, hoping your nxt test is much better.it must have been hard taking it all in when half asleep haha !!! Have a good day and make sure you let me know your next results. Mtx can do funny things lol xx
