Good news: Mum saw the specialist today. He put things in better perspective. The damage could have been caused by her lifestyle over the past five years, and with better diet and exercise there's a really good chance that the deterioration will slow. She might have Whipple's disease, but to diagnose it they'd have to do a lumbar puncture and apparently once you know you have it, there's nothing you can do anyway. Mum says lumbar punctures are worse than childbirth!
I still feel uneasy about the whole thing, but Mum seems better and that's the main thing.
