I usually control my health problems with a combination of medication and diet. However I have had to make compromises regarding the diet side and have noticed the difference I have a large hiatus hernia which causes me problems with my asthma etc but but even using cheaper options with more preservatives in has effected me. It is a constant juggling act which I feel I am losing

If because of my age I didn't get free prescrptions I couldn't afford my shipping order of medicines. Yes I could have got a prepaid certificate but they are expensive, still cheaper than buying the individual medicines but a lot of money to find in one lump sum.

Since I got my diabetes medicine free I don't see why severe asthmatics say people on at least 2 different medicines every day, couldn't get theirs free.

My main concerns with the rising cost of living are 2 fold. First became I use more electricity than many is the cost there. The second is food, I have numerous allergies and in the past have tried to follow a fairly strict diet. I am now having to make compromises balancing up the ones that will cause me the most harm. Basically I have reduced it to a gluten free diet which is expensive enough. My health has definitely suffered
