about that insurance
Michele-
The question you will be asked is "Has any licensed medical poo-bah told you that you have Parkinson's?" That question gets a yes or no answer. No ifs ands or maybes. If the doc said you might have PD, then the answer is "No".
If no medcal doctor has told this then do not, under any circumstances, set foot in a medical office until you have done as well as you can on the insurance. The insurance company will investigate you WHEN you file a claim years from now and deny coverage when you are most vulnerable. Others will only do that in the first "x" years. Mine is through Gentex (formerly GE) and they cover everything after two years. I don't know a lot about them but when I signed up eleven years ago they were considered the best.
