    Oh Dragon - no more talk like that - however dire it seems you will get through it together. Hope the help with prescriptions materialises - the chronic pain you have is bound to make you feel even worse so keeping that under control has to be a priority. Does Dr D have an more interviews coming up? I thought there was a possibility? Hope something is sorted for you both soon. Take care and keep us posted.

    Same here, congrats on the weight loss and getting below the next barrier, but sorry to hear the pain is still constant. And the money issues - my god, thats horrible. Hope the meetings with the doctor and the Nationwide go well. Do post again.

    Okay Nationwide can't help us for another month (at the earliest), Dr Dragon is off for another 2 weeks, Docs figure I am getting stressed out with everything and because I am disabled I can't help out which makes me feel worse.

    I can't get help with medical costs and still nothing from the Council!

    Okay the Council gave us until the 17th to find out the terms and conditions of ownership of the time share (which is in hand) and then decided without the information that it is classed as another full time property and we therefore do not qualify for Council Tax benefit :confused::mad:

    On the other hand Dr Dragon and I had a meeting with an independent HR person and it looks as though things are moving forward well! He could be back at work within a month which would be good :D
