"...............Tests showed that Robert did indeed have Lyme, and he was treated with antibiotics—first with oral doxycycline and then with intravenous ceftriaxone. Although his arthritis improved and tests for the bacterium that causes Lyme eventually came back negative, his joints were still inflamed. .... .......

So he was prescribed ***methotrexate***, an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drug commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis...... .

... The joint **inflammation finally went away**, and he’s now getting physical therapy to help regain mobility......."

Methotrexate, never seen this here or anywhere............?

Thats something I would be interested in try for speeding up my soft tissue repair and even my autoimmune stuff.

But lowering my immune system when its already low..........doesn't sound so smart....bummer.

I know someone who’s daughter was diagnosed with RA and was put on the methotrexate - she ended up with lung damage (possible side effect of higher doses) and it is permanent.
She is only in her late 30’s/early 40’s and there is NO treatment for it. It’s very sad - she needs oxygen now to breathe. So she pulls one of those oxygen carts with her.
Heartbreaking !
