Well, I went to the rheumatologist and was tested for lupus. It seems I probably haven't got it - hooray! Unfortunately, they think I've probably got Sjögren's syndrome - that's ok because it can't be treated. There is one side-effect though - sufferers from Sjögren's are four times more likely than the general population to suffer from leukaemia. Great!
At least it's only four times as likely. And it probably won't happen.
Damn the rheumatologist - I need never have known...
