My father has MSA. Hes nearly 85 and had been having UTIs for several years, and had been falling when his BP fluctuated. Hes gone downhill very fast in the past few months, from swimming an hour a day to being confined to a nursing home barely able to walk. He has a catheter and has some mild demetia. Very sad for a DArthmouth grad who loves the beach and the water. He feels suicidal now.
