Isabelle the only thing I can figure is that for now they are treating this as a bacterial induced case and so the suppression of the immunesystem would work against it. I found this article discussing the type of mastitis that they treat with methotrexate and it says they were tested and found to be non bacterial.
methotrexate and mastitis
Wow, wow, wow, if this is something else related to my arthritis, I'm going to be really annoyed. lol, who would have thought it was even possible?
Thanks to the everyone for their good thoughts and well wishes and all the great immune advice which can always be used regardless of whether it's now or later. I'm really feeling optimistic today. I have less tenderness, even though the mass size is the same, but some relief in the pain is a real mood changer. lol
You gals are great. Always have been, which is one of the reasons, I've stayed here so long.
hugs, Mel
