Re: Methotrexate experience-follow up

[Guest guest]

Well my docs office called and said my bloodwork was normal except my

white count is low. Ok? Well that was it. I guess I am suppose to

just keep taking it. I thought when it gets low like that we back

off? I found out my actual number is 2.7 and not 2.5. Anyway I didn't

take it this week and will have to see what I decide on Monday as I am

still feeling ill from 1 1/2 weeks ago. If I do take it next Monday I

think I will only take half the dose. I just don't know if it is worth

taking at all. It made my pain better but to be this ill and tired is

really worse. Any thoughts?
