Hi all, I’ve been diagnosed with secondary adrenal deficiency for 2.5 years now. I had a pituitary cyst which squished the pituitary so I don’t make acth anymore.
Since, I’ve had people tell me I’m generally more laid back and relaxed than I was before. I’m less confrontational and more diplomatic than I used to be. I’m don’t think I’ve consciously changed deliberately, but I guess I’m just trying to avoid stress whenever I can.
I had a load of feedback at work saying how people found I was always the calm head when bad things happen which I found really odd as I used to be the opposite.
Anyone else found this? Post diagnosis you’re dealing with situations and people differently?

Ha.

Hi all, 40 something bloke, passed test first time last week. Never driven before.
We have a 2023 family Skoda Octavia hybrid. My wife’s insured on the car, her insurance policy runs out in August.
She called current provider and they refused to even quote to add me as a named driver to her policy.

I want to drive, ideally don’t want to buy another vehicle, so what do we do?

1. Buy an old banger and build up no claims over time?
2. Buy temporary insurance then look for new provider in august that I can be part of when her policy runs out?
3. Can I buy a separate policy and insure myself directly on the Skoda? So we have

individual

1. policies when she or I are driving?

What would you do?
