    well i am happy some certain person finds my illness a joke and funny! maybe when you have a family member very close to you with the same illness i hope you find it just as funny then.

    Thanks too the others, i guess i wouldnt get a loan but it was no harm in asking too see if anyone had managed too get one :)
    Can you explain who thought your illness was a joke?
    If that was aimed at me I carried on from a joke by another poster, it was no way meant in respect to you but if you felt that way I apologise!

  • hi really wouldn't do that either, I've the same prob after illnesses but not even risking driving, I hate even going in a car with someone as I panic, if I was alone I think I maybe a danger at present I can understand where your coming from with the joking coment, after 1st read thought that myself (at pres take everything to heart) but it is a serious point. I am very nervous stupid things like sitting on the couch, my daughter knocking on the window gives me a very near heart attack, someone walking into the room when in a world of my own, silly things like that,been in car at lights someone walked past and I've freaked out. Would speak to your GP first see what he suggests.

    I did while on incap, from my bank. Now almost 2 years later I've only just paid enough off the interest to owe slightly less than I borrowed. I'm paying back 1 weeks benefit out of 4 just on this loan for another 5+ years. Please don't do it. As you won't be able to afford to live.
