Just curious if anyone else has had an abnormal cbc while on a biologic? My test this week showed that my red blood cells are "pale" - hypochromia and I also have elevated neutrophils. Not sure what this means, but I've had a horrible flare of eczema on my hands and feet the past few months too. Could this be causing the abnormal cbc? I do have a rheum appt next week, but just thought I would ask if anyone else has any personal experience with this because as you all know, the rheum doesn't necessarily know about some of the weird stuff we go through.. When I research it online, it says it could be due to a possible allergy, or celiac? Just one more thing to add to the list I guess....

Thanks for any input.
