Irvins Struggle

My Husband was diagnosed with MSA-A about two years ago. He has six doctors.

He started getting dizzy and then falling. Had a Pacemaker put in Nov.2007 and cannot walk, hardly is able to sit up. IS in hospital bed and is incontinent. What is being done for these patients? I am caregiver and this is overwhelming? I want trials and answers. My husband had to retire and he is 72. He wanted to continue working.

I want to know if there is some kind of insurance for these people. He is without income now and the worries are never ending. Who are doing trials with people instead of rats?
Wife,
Joan
