hi there, I live in the uk and am a 57 year old male.I have worked with this condition for many years and have a pension pot. Things aren't getting any easier.Now because it seems that almost any treatment we try we have to pay for, just how much of our pension funds can we get our hands on. Does anyone know for example, could you access your entire pension fund so you could pay off a mortgage, thereby cutting your monthly outgoings. If this were possible I could then at least have more options open to me.I know in my case that acupuncture helps, but I can't afford things like this indefinately.thanks in advance and look forward to any advice
