    I've been investigating travel insurance the **whole** time since my last post :eek:

    Annual European coverage, cruise cover (of course) ... the issue is about my chronic fatigue. Investigations were around 2 years ago, but definitely less than 5 years ago. I was advised its *not* the syndrome, but just the symptoms (lack of brain fuzz is an important indicator here). Thats too specific for travel insurance wonks to cope with - so I'm going to declare the Syndrome. I worked through an example policy at a specialist recommended on the main site here, and it came in only about £20 more expensive (with better cancellation policy, actually) ...

    The only reason to have it mentioned on the insurance is completeness - I've never had any treatment, expensive or otherwise, it's just about rest, for me. But I can see it being used against me to get out of a claim for, say, stolen baggage. I think an over-declaration is the way to go, as long as it doesn't affect my sister - I'll have to wait to book it until I've spoken to her, and she's not around till the evening.

    Am v bored with the computer now :rotfl: off to eat a late Second Breakfast :)

    TCB are often quite good once you've found competitive insurance Karma. Good luck :D

    Not a hijack in the least, PP - conversations get sparked, thats whats *supposed* to happen :)

    I managed some garden work - still very tiring to be out there, because of the cold, but between clearing everything to plant, and collecting stuff for the tip, it's necessary :)

    Has anyone else had weirdness with their mse password? Expired, and to renew I had to type in what my existing password was? Which I've forgotten for years :o but something worked again. V odd.

    Not sure what the password thing is all about.
    Easy enough to do though.
