@kjoed53 thanks for taking the time. Very important information to have. I have certainly had some very odd things happen to my blood markers since PMR arrived and was very ill last year. I was about to be referred to a hematologist when they found everything quickly returning to normal after I stopped methotrexate. In the end it was all put down to methotrexate toxicity.

@gmdb
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. In my case, the PMR meds could have had fatal consequences if not for a knowledgeable, diligent and proactive rheumatologist referring me to a hematologist/oncologist to further evaluate what he already suspected.
