Hello, hope everyone is doing ok
On Monday I had my two weekly methotrexate blood monitoring test and this morning a letter arrived in the post from the GP's asking me to make an appointment to discuss blood test results. Managed to get an appointment for the 27th December. The only thing I can think of why they've contacted me is that on Monday I forgot the blood test request form so the nurse printed one off via the surgery. Do I contact the rheumy nurses today it's methotrexate day or take it as usual as I see the nurse this coming Monday ?

would have thought your GP would have phoned if it was something serious so dont worry , how much folic acid you taking , it vares from consultant to consultant , I was on 5mg six days a week but some only give one tablet a week
I thought the same with the GP calling if it was important but might give the nurses a ring just incase the results haven't got to them directly and they would be better placed to interpret the results.

that's what I thought even if the results had gone to the GP as it was done via the GP request system, as I forgot the hospital request form :roll: then they would have called. Seeing the nurse tomorrow and will mention it. It's the first appointment with nurse since starting the Methotrexate.

The rheumatology nurse thinks the GP might be concerned about the ESR but to keep the appointment anyway as she wants him to start prescribing the folic acid.
