Allow me to share some good news. Just got some blood test results, and for the first time, my neutrophils are on the low end of normal (they're the inflammatory white blood cells...). It's good for RA, yet I wouldn't want them to go any lower (because they also protect against bact...

Wouldn't you think that "more liver" would be better? Unfortunately, not in the bloodstream!
But, yeah, my neck is doing much better. and I know what not to do to aggravate it, which is half the battle!

RA just makes me crazy

Yeah another gripe about the wonders of this ever so...
I hadn't gotten the liver enzyme test result! Turns out, with less Enbrel I was taking more Tylenol, and that set off my liver! My rheumatologist said today, he once had a patient (like me) whose liver enzymes went up and down - until she got on MTX and then they were fine. Ironically, I wasn't put on MTX because my liver enzymes were high! (at the time I was glad...)
So - it's time to shift the balance back the other way again. And they'll be checking my liver monthly for a while, till this smooths out.
