Nicholas, so sorry to hear about mum, what a terrible reaction. Can I ask what pills they were??

Lots of information there for you to digest. All I can add is to make sure you keep paying your rent, whatever happens, because if you fail to do so, you might be unintentionally making yourself homeless.
