Daughter had that, started at eightand lasted until she was thirteen. 

Aw bless. It’s awful  just come on in the last couple of days. It’s quite unusual- dr brought others in to see it nd took photos. 

Tbh if she is like her sister it won’t bother her too much but it looks really bad. Her toes nd fingers are nearly doubling  in size if comes up on them:-(

really hoping she grows out of it ( apparently it’s unusual for them to grow out of it though so fingers crossed). X

Hi Sandra... bless her ... my nieces lil one just got scarlet fever ...all these little ones poorly over the Easter brake ... bet they still manage a choc egg or two ... let's hope yr lil one grows out of it too ... sounds really painfull .. at least she can have lots of "nanny time"

Hi Chrissy

How do you keep doing it again and again?

I had a dark day yesterday (sounds a bit dramatic as I'm stage 1). I sat and spoke with my partner about practicalities if things get worse over time. He was really not wanting the conversation but I am such a practical person that I can't settle without having plans in place to ensure he and my 8 year old will be ok. As such I'm thinking of moving some money around for a worse case scenario fund. Today I'm questioning myself as this doesnt feel like im being optimistic, positive and strong....which is what I want to be. What a ride this is huh!
