Hazel saw the doctor yesterday, bad news. It is rheumatoid arthritis and she will have to go on some serious drugs for it. She's a bit down at the moment and, from my own experience, she will be for a time. It's not as bad as it could be as, so far, the only badly affected area is her knee and they hope to be able to minimise the effects everywhere else whilst treating that. The doctor did show her some horror pictures of worst case stuff and told her it was extremely unlikely she would ever be that bad. All it did was to scare her more I suspect. Lulu got her results back on the same day and she is clear of any infection and there seems to be no damage so one story has a happy ending at least.
