Grateful For MPTeammates
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I started to write this as a post but I realize that it is probably a better question so we can continue to add to it .

Car Insurance?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone receive a discount on their car insurance for no longer driving? I just found out my insurance has actually gone up in price and I feel it should go down since I'm no longer driving.
