I was wondering how many people on the list carry some kind of medical ID
that says they have Parkinson's. On New Years Eve I was stopped and detained
at the Main Gate to the Mira Mar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego. The
Marine gaurd thought I was a Y2K terrorist because my hand was shaking when
I showed him my retired military ID. When I was asked why I was nervous, I
informed them that I had Parkinson's, but the marines wanted "proof" of my
medical condition. Now I am trying to decide if I should carry a letter from
my neurologist or get a bracelet or whatever?
