Thank you Mel,
It looks like they know exactly what they're doing. β-glucan is indeed supposed to get your immune system going:

(Scroll down to "β-glucan and the immune system"). But it looks much friendlier than methotrexate, and it works in the opposite direction. So your immunity system will rebound, but not too strongly.
Draining should relieve the infection, and help your arthritis, like in the publication I linked above. The antibiotic is more like a back up plan just in case.
If this works, you probably dump the mastitis, the arthritis, and much of the autoimmune problem in one go. If it doesn't, they probably have prednisolon as a plan B. Looking at how clever this is, I bet they even have a plan C.
Good luck, and thank you for being around
