RA or the drugs you are taking can cause a chronic fatigue. Do you mean your WBC are 20,000? Or do you mean your WBC were low because of the drugs, and now are coming back to normal? 20,000 is quite high, and I would want to know why it is increasing. Perhaps whatever is causing the change in WBC is also causing the fatigue. You need to talk to your doctor about these concerns and maybe have some further testing done to figure it out.

Hope this answers your query. If you have more questions, I would be happy to answer them.
