Nic-- In retrospect, I think I might have benefitted from a few more years of not knowing my diagnosis! I wish that between the time I first considered the possibility of Parkinson's and the time my PD diagnosis was confirmed, I had paid attention to what a diagnosis could mean in terms of insurance eligibility, employment issues, and the like. Once you have an official diagnosis of Parkinson's, doors can close.
