Hello all
Having listened to the 2 parkies in a pod podcast at the weekend on people with Parkinson’s who had their lives turned upside down by dopamine agonists myself and my husband with parkinsons are really interested in how any changes to financial spending can be safeguarded? It really scared us and although we hope this will not happen, we would rather think of this beforehand and put mitigating measures in place. Has anyone got anyone else thought about this and what did you find?
