Travel Insurance

[LilyInTheSun]

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for getting travel insurance?

The company I've previously been using has now added a question asking if l've confirmed with my dr that I'm fit to travel and the policy is void if I can't answer yes to that. However, I contacted my GP and they no longer provide a 'fit to travel' service, and won't comment on whether I'm fit to travel.

I've tried getting other quotes, but most companies (for people with medical conditions) say they can't cover me. One that would cover me was incredibly expensive (initial quote was over £1,100). Most companies won't provide cover if you are on a waiting list for treatment, but that's pretty much my whole life with NHS waiting lists! (Currently on a list for a couple of things, including Botox in my hands for Raynaud's, but have been on the list for a year already.)

I have scleroderma (with mild ILD), Raynaud's, and Sjogren's. Generally fairly stable now, as I've had scleroderma for over 14 years.

I feel like scleroderma has taken so much away from me, and being able to have a holiday once or twice a year somewhere hot really helps me, especially with my Raynaud's. I'm finding this really frustrating. I'd appreciate advice from anyone with experience finding affordable travel insurance. Thanks very much!
