Why not just a short bio in which the writer tells a little about himself or herself? I am not sure that stating the year of dx and/or date of first systems is something insurance companies, whether health or life, need to know or be able to research. My reasoning is that no one can really pinpoint when PD started (it is a point on a continuum, but which point?) or when the dx is infallible. Many times the dx gets changed to something else. Something to think about.
