Hi Karen, plan is to start a new thread, highlighting the free phone number and link to this thread.

I'm waiting til on the laptop as I find highlighting text awkward in the tablet. But if you wanted to start a thread I'd be happy, and then we could link the new to the old and have this one closed and make the new one a sticky, though I don't know how you do that?

I don't really know where to post this but it's on my mind so I'm going to do it anyway.

Today I read a really sad report in the paper about a man in his 60s who committed suicide because of the debt he had got into, including PDL. I'm sure the circs are complicated, these things usually are, but if you are reading this now, and feeling the same thoughts,

Thank you for bumping this up. Some people become down and depressed more so around this time of year. The feeling of obligation to buy gifts etc. Getting into debt for it. Maybe not having family around them and so on.

The charities mentioned and many many others that help people need more recognition and funding.

Don't give up
