My Mom was diagnosed with MSA at Mayo Clinic about 2 years ago. She just turned 70 in August. She had years of unexplained falls and her balance and slurred speech seemed to get worse. They went to every Doctor in our city and no one could find out what was wrong. Thank God for Mayo Clinic. They found the answers we were seeking, even if it was not the answer we wanted to hear. My Mom is currently in a “brain study” at Mayo. MSA is such a rare disease. I never knew anything about it until my Mom was diagnosed. Her future looks very bleak, but we try to live for one day at a time. Even worse, Mom has tried some medications to treat the “symptoms” of MSA and those all made everything worse. Her dizziness and falling was terrible, so currently she is not on anything but her regular heart and blood pressure meds. She experiences just about every symptom related to MSA.
