I had an mri in January which identified significant cerebellum atrophy and diagnosed with progressive cerebellar ataxia. I am going through testing to try and identify the cause but all negative so far. I would like to try to get a holiday , am using Nordic poles and have a four wheeler.

I’m wondering if any of you have any travel insurance recommendations. I’m 63 thank you for any help 😊

IUse Avanti insurance, I have no confirmed type and am awaiting genetic testing results.

They asked me if I could wash and dress myself and that’s all. Cover is good and very reasonable compared to some quotes I received. I am also in my sixties.
