I can highly recommend Columbus Direct for travel insurance with AA/MDS - they've got a targeted online questionnaire for existing conditions and you get a quote then and there. They quoted me something like £50 to cover a fortnight in America last fall, and the specialist insurers made me ring up, speak to someone who had NO idea what MDS was, and then quote me £300 for the same trip. So yeah, I was very happy with Columbus! But also remember to get your EU medical cover card if you haven't got one already (I can't remember the exact name, but it's a little blue card the size of a credit card that you need if you require medical help on the continent).
I'm so happy you've got some positive news anyhow!
