Went to my Rheumy today and had my lab tests done as well.  Later on, I got
a call from his office and the secretary said after he'd read my lab
reports, he wanted me to take 5 MTX tabs weekly instead of the 4 I have been
taking.  Can't remember what I'm taking them for besides RA.  Does it mean
my SED rate was a little high?  Nanny

Could be. It could have been any of a number of the tests. That's why we pay
them the big bucks. (BTW-I was not able to tolerate the pills, I take the
injections.)

Hang in there, DeeTee

I don't know Nanny but I would think that either the sed rate was up higher
or maybe the RF is up. I am not sure about those things though.

I hope you do much better on the more MTX.

I am nuts about you.
