Hello

I do admire you moving to UK possibly for
love/relationship.

I do not wish to sound negative or nosey, have you
thought about the implication if that wouldn't work
out.

For one reason or another, I am more vulnerable to
changes and at times relationship related things (i.e.
working out and doing things with the same person)
compromise my general well-being when going gets
tough.

Luckily I don't need to depend upon anyone which
ultimately helps me lead a happier life though a
companionship does also help when things are going
well and both parties are working for the relationship
which does take a lot of work..!

I'm sure you know all this already and wish you good
luck.....I just got the feelings that maybe you would
be under a lot of stress not just over a medication.

Take care.

:)

Thank you to those who responded.

It sounds like I may be in for a bumpy road. I will
see whether my present
insurer will allow me to pay to keep my policy until I
transition into
private healthcare in England, if that's even
available to me, a non-citizen
on a work permit. Perhaps if that works out, that
will beat the
'pre-existing conditions' bit? It does over here, as
long as you don't drop
insurance for even a day. Otherwise, will have to
take what NHS can give me
unless my partner decides it's worth it to pay full
price for name-brand
pharmaceuticals. Yikes!

Brian.... the Abilify I'm taking, along with a low
dose of Lexapro, is the
first combination that hasn't taken away my sex drive.
I went from 2001 to
most of 2004 without giving a monkey's about sex.
Killed a 6-year
relationship! So I am nervous, as you can see, about
change. I hope you
and your wife find something that gives you back some
zip in your marriage.

Krin, heading to Hampshire soon as I can
