MSA

Feb 20, 2016


I have had neurological problems for a number of years but was not able to get relief or a diagnosis.  We decided to see a neurologist/ movement disorder specialist at the University of Michigan. They spent several hours listening to my story, reviewing MRIs and performing tests/ questioning me.  I was videotaped and my story shared with other movement specialists. With frequent falls, blood pressure swings, ataxia, sexual problems, bladder difficulties, and trouble following objects with my eyes as initial symptoms ( have added more), I was diagnosed with MSA ( probable) in March of 2015.  After a year, the changes continue and include more severe mobility problems and exhaustion.
