Hello,
First of all you need to mention for RA which of the drugs are you taking currently and for how long? It may be drug induced and an auto-immune mechanism is probably working as an underlying mechanism. Fever may be again due to immunosuppression because of drugs and disease itself. Marrow suppression initially by the drugs may cause increase in platelets count as well as WBC count.
