Yes Cassy, same here + white cell count down slightly. The enlarged

RBCs don't cause me any problems, & I guess that the lowered WC shows

that the Mthx is working it's magic.

Cassy,

Is your physician going to check your folate and B12 status?

Are you taking folic acid with your MTX? How much? How much MTX are you

taking?

Not an MD

I'll tell you where to go!

Vit b levels and folate are normal. I take 5 mg of folic acid per

day and 1cc injectable mtx along with Embrel (just started 5 wks

ago) per week. lots of other meds too. Cassy
