I would not be able to support the purchase of non PBS drugs unless we sold our home. It would mean a huge change to our lives. (my husband finds it really difficult to change anything and my life would be a living hell) Then again when faced with aversity who knows - I want to be around for a long time because I know that my family wants this too. My father told me a very long time ago (he has been gonee for 17 years) "Where there is life there is hope". Whilst I am relatively well I am trying to live the most "normal" as I can. I do try to eat the best that I can (I am gluten, dairy free and have loads of other allergies), drink plenty of good spring water (have a special water cooler installed as well as the filtered fridge dispenser), get as much exercise as my body will tolerate - and beyond and endeavour to get the maximum hours of sleep. I also do the maintenance stuff with massages and meeting up regularly with good family and friends. I have learnt many strategies to "deflect" stress. To live a quiet, peaceful life - sure ????? I need to work to help bring in the extra $$$ $$ so that the extra burden is not all loaded onto my husband who could fall into a heap trying to "hold the finance tree" together. Sometimes yes it would be good to just run away - that has it's costs too!!! I look forward to hearing what is going to be said. XLeonie
