    Hi Bee , I am sure you have done the correct thing going back to work but good to know ESA will be an option if you ever feel unwell again or if things don't work out . We'll done again on your weight loss , I'm sure the walking will help you as well though it is hard at first xx

    I think definitely worth a try to follow MD advice and having a private chat with them , nothing ventured nothing gained but do you think you want to work ? I think more than anything you need a period of being stable .Am I right to think a decent paying job is probably your best option of eventually not having a lodger and having your home to yourself ? Good luck whatever you decide xx
