It is very scary, but the alternative of not taking them would nearly immobilize me. ☹️. I wish you well!

CoQ10 is another otc supplement I started using for fatigue. This has helped a lot. 100mg daily after my rheumatologist suggested it. I subscribe to it via amazon.

Harlikylo WBC’s Are what fight infection. If it is hi then it just means there is usual something viral or bacterial going on in your system. If you HGB AND HCT OR LOW THOSES ARE INDICATORS THAT YOU ARE ANEMIC AND YOU ARE LOSING BLOOD SOMEWHERE. YOUR DR NEEDS TO RECHECK YOUR BLOOD WORK TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. Medications like MTX can cause liver problems so your liver enzymes need to be watched also. You need to make sure you keep your blood sugar under control. No alcohol decrease your carbohydrates make sure you take your thyroid medication every day and on time. Make sure you talk to your Dr about your blood work and see why your WBC’s are up. This is very important. Good luck with all your issues.

Yes. We switched to iron I’ve therapy last year with monthly B12 injections. That has helped stabilize my anemia

I am so sorry, Julie. I have never realized the extent of the risks of these RA drugs. I’ve taken Cimzia and Orencia and am currently on Simponi-aria. Currently my wbc, rbc, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and neutrophils are low and my lymphocytes and monocytes are high. I’ve never had these crazy labs before.
