this one is going to be even less scientific than the first - my apologies. i am wondering what caregivers would say in answer to the original poll - if you had $10 million that you could only allocate toward research into alleviating either non-motor symptoms (sleep disturbances, pain, fatigue, cognitive changes, dementia, etc.) or dyskinesias or some combination of the two, how would you allocate that money? and further, would you be making that choice based on what is most challenging for you as a caregiver, or what you see as most challenging to the person for whom you care? finally, and this is a tough one to phrase and it is directed at both PWP and caregivers. let's say a particular caregiver's assessment of what is most challenging (by which i mean that symptom or side effect that the PWP would be most helped by alleviating) for the person they care for differs from that person's own assessment - whose assessment should carry more weight? thanks for playing, again, mackenzie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
