Dear Ron: Three and a half years is a long time. Why don't you try and apply for social security disability? But I know you have to be disabled 6 months before. I took my social security at 62. At 63, I was diagnosed. I was advised to apply for disability and it came right through. About 8 months. Parkinson's is a disease that you can get pretty easily. I am searching for a DR. To. We are in a great place, the Wash. Metro area and there should be a lot of good DRS. I am now as I told you going to Baltimore, Univ. of Md. to the big guy but need a regular DR. here. I don;t know what I am looking for but it is not what I have now in a DR. Any suggestions welcome. Take Care and keep in touch.
