There must be other people who have ongoing illnesses that take extended holidays so there must be a way to do this without too much disruption - can you help?

Hi Lucy and Colin,
My partner has much the same very severe problem.
We have Wintered in Spain many years but she has not yet taken Spanish residencia.All the meds you need and more are readily available in Spain.
However you would have to be in the Spanish health system to get the blood tests and prescriptions which would mean giving up your rights in the UK in the meantime and taking out Spanish residencia.
The alternative is to use a private clinic of which there are many.
Pricewise they are fairly reasonable,and usually of a good standard.
Hope this is some help or if I can advise you further I will try.
