I share Phil's concern about meds availability. Since we have excellent Rx insurance coverage, and pay very little for Peter's meds, we may have a chance to occasionally have an Rx that we pay for out of pocket, not asking insurance to cover it, and in that way, with cooperation of the doctors, could build up a supply. I plan to ask our mail order company, Merck-Medco, what their Y2K plans may be, and also discuss this with the neuro and PCP. It's not too soon to alert ourselves and others in the chain of supply to the need to be covered for emergancies. Expiration dates on most meds allow ample time to stockpile a bit, I expect, if docs will write extra Rxs for that purpose. Who has a better idea??????
