Matt....I will call Mrs MB snr, but I can't today. My foal is also going downhill and I don't think I can talk on the phone without wailing quite loudly today. Please don't think I'm ungrateful, I really am but I need an ostrich day

Don't worry theres no urgency but she's there if you need her, she was a pastoral tutor at University before she retired and shes used to talking to people who are in crisis so don't worry about being upset if you talk to her, shes a good person to talk to in a crisis. As and when you're ready though

Oh poor Daisy

what a horrible thing to have to go through, I hope that someone gives you a proper diagnosis as soon as humanly possible so that at least part of the worrying is out the way. And I hope it's something minor compared to what you've been reading about. I can't begin to imagine the anguish you're going through, and can only offer hugs and best wishes for both of you

Good luck to you both. There will be blood tests involved and I suspect you won't get an instant answer. Idiopathic is Doctor speak for 'we don't know' so if it is JIA don't expect too many answers as to why but they should be able to tell you 'what next'

Let us know how you get on
