Hold everything!! If you really believe you have it - please make sure you get your insurance in order BEFORE you see the dr. That means long term disablity . Once they write PD in your chart - you are out of luck!

Get all the insurance you can and be scrupulously accurate on the application. Remember you are not a doctor and your suspisions are worthless so don't mention them. Just answer based on what a "real" doctor has told you. Long term care and disability are the important ones.
