ooooh!

thank you for the replies - i am glad that others are on the same wavelength.

maven it does sound like you have had a ****** time of it. however what you are saying IS a bit at odds with other people here - it is sad how people's experiences seem to differ so much even though they should theoretically have a similar level of access.

If there isn't already, I was wondering whether it would be worth having a thread on sort of practical self help that was a kind of 'sticky' (a thread that stays at the top of the page?) with suggestions of ways to get the ball rolling if you are strapped for cash, etc. I have seen some fantastic ideas in this thread, in the Drug Questions section, and I am sure there are others.

E.g., this 'Sliding scale' thing - how you might work out that this is an option for you.

in another thread i saw 'Contacting drug companies directly as they may put you in their free programme'.

Just as a sort of resource so that all the information on this topic is in one place? I've seen some fantastic ideas.

I can't offer a lot myself from this perspective as we have a cheaper and more straightforward system over here!
