I was diagnosed with RA approx 4 wks ago & started taking Methotrexate 15mg for past 2 wks followed by a blood test 4 days ago, my question is, am I supposed to receive the results of my blood test the same day as I have increased my dose (now on wk 3) without knowing whether my bloods are abnormal. This is all new to me & I am feeling anxious, maybe a reassuring blood test will help lift my spirits. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Although some one here have RA- and quite a few use MTX for their PMR -you might get more answers on an designated RA forum -
Although these posts may help-but they relate mainly to PMR -
I have found the feedback from blood tests to be somewhat iffy. I have found it helpful to ask for a print out so that you can see for yourself in the immediate and also so that you can note any patterns in future tests
