Methotrexate
I have been on methotrexate for a number of years for psoriatic arthritis. Recent bloods revealed enlarged red blood cells, repeat bloods done with same outcome.
Gp liaised with rheumatology who say this is not unusual and requires no action, carry on with methotrexate at same dose. Concerned re longer term effects this could have, any advice would be helpful and now considering stopping methatrexate myself as no health practitioner discussing with me?
