I'm still in the closet and gradually coming to terms with having PD. I take Cabaser ( Cabergoline, dopamine agonist ) and Artane at present although after my next visit to my neurologist I expect to move to a stronger dopamine agonist if this is the right medical term. Stiffness and slow movement on one side are my principal symptoms apart from loss of smell and general tiredness, slurring of words etc. > >I have two queries if anyone can help. As I'm still able to work, and hope to for several years and longer if the stem cell technology is perfected. I need to use a PC to write reports etc. does anyone know of a good voice recognition program/software, windows - word based program as touch typing is becoming too slow and difficult. I have used Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional for about two years while I was still working for the Oregon Department of Revenue and it worked very well and i think they have versions that are improved from where the software was then. Amnd you shouldn't the Professional version. >Secondly, does anyone have experience with claiming on income insurance policies. I don't intend to apply for some time, and I realise all insurance contracts are not the same but given most policies are underwritten by multinational companies I expect their modus operandi are much the same. It is not until something like PD arrives that you read the fine print and find the attached conditions. I'm just interested to know how others may have fared with a claim and whether it takes a legal fight to get them to honour their commitment after so readily taking your premium each year. > >Janet, I can"t remember just how I came to find your site .I have just been on the web almost daily since my diagnosis trying to absorb as much scientific fact and hope as I can so that I can contribute in a positive way with my doctor on future treatment. > >Kind regards > >Ron > >*************************************************************************** >This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and are >intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are >addressed.
