Has anyone had blood work come back saying that your hemoglobin red blood cell count is high?

I have had RA for 20 years. I have been on biologic's for about 15 and Plaquenil for 20. I have started to see an increase in bruising over the last several years, and they last a really long time. My doctor wants to repeat the test in a month or so, but I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this?

I’ve been on enbrel for about14 years and at times suplemented with planquial . I could never tolerate Methotexrate. But now my red platelets level is down and so is my white blood cell count so my understanding is that certain meds can effect your blood levels. Now in a week going to see a hemotologist
