Nibbal health update

[sistawendy]

So Her Nibs has been to a rheumatologist who interrogated her, had her chest X-rayed, and put her on prednisone for the next two weeks as another diagnostic. The odds? Strong chance of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, which is treatable and doesn't cause deformity like garden variety RA. She has localized fibromyalgia as what the doctor called a "fellow traveller". There's a remote chance of some form (lymphatic?) of cancer, but given that all her adult female blood relatives have some sort of autoimmune condition as RA is, it seems pretty unlikely to me. There will be more news as soon as I have some.

Her Nibs is pretty freaked because scary words like "cancer" are being bandied about. Personally, I'm glad we're getting out of this medical suspended animation we've been in for a couple of months.
