Steve starts chatting to camgirls online - it鈥檚 not long before he鈥檚 spending 拢1000 in a night. How long can he keep it a secret?
Not long after his diagnosis with Parkinson鈥檚 disease, Steve starts chatting to camgirls online. But soon he鈥檚 going on the sites every night, even logging on while his wife鈥檚 asleep next to him in bed. How long can he keep it a secret?
Steve鈥檚 one of more than 200 people who contacted 麻豆社 Investigations correspondent Noel Titheradge about their experiences of side effects caused by dopamine agonist drugs.
When medications turn out to have life-changing side effects, how do we balance the benefits with the risks?
Details of organisations offering help and support with some of the issues raised are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
If you have any concerns about medication you鈥檙e taking, speak to your doctor.
