What is the money question you have not asked?

Ask it. Somebody here has solved it. — asked by Petra

IlseMaastricht, NL

It decided the month. I paused for four weeks and it was the right call.

AnnikaStockholm, SE

Fuel to the appointments costs more than the prescription, which is a rural problem.

7

Blue That is the third time this month somebody has described exactly that.

BertieHarrogate, UK

Won the appeal at the second attempt. Eleven weeks, four paragraphs, one very patient clinician.

9

RunaAarhus, DK

Sorted a repeat that reduced the dispensing fees. Small, boring, real.

MinaLisbon, PT

Three months at a time is cheaper here, if you can find the money for three months at once.

NyreeChristchurch, NZ

The savings card halved it for a year and then did not.

NadiaCairo, EG

A month of medication or the train fare home. I chose the train and I am not sorry.

5

PrueChester, UK

Asked about a lower maintenance dose partly for cost reasons and got a proper conversation about it.

7

Fitz I am glad somebody asked you. It should not be rare and it is.

IslaOban, UK

Picked up extra shifts specifically for this, which I resent slightly and would do again.

7

Huw Say the true answer more often. It seems to work.

SorayaTehran, IR

Wrote the arithmetic out with no rounding. Seeing it was steadying rather than frightening.

7

XanBerlin, DE

Compared four pharmacies in one city and the spread was larger than I expected.

6

BramSheffield, UK

Picked up extra shifts specifically for this, which I resent slightly and would do again.

5

LeifTrondheim, NO

Found a hardship fund at my university that I did not know existed.

5

Barnaby That sounds like something to raise this week rather than at the next review.

NixLeith, UK

Wrote the arithmetic out with no rounding. Seeing it was steadying rather than frightening.

8

SadieSalford, UK

Nothing this month. I am fortunate and I know it.
