Story about Multiple Systems Atrophy .

A wife knows best

Mar 27, 2016


My husband first signs of this illness was when he passed out from walking 2008. Then he had a moments when he was there and couldn't speak.  My husband's original Primary care physician was treating him for an enlarged prostate.   He even went through the surgery.   I made my husband go to a new doctor. After 6 months of no improvement and signs of gating showing up.  One Neurologist out of Rockwall texas had the crazy notion it was pinch nerve.  So my husband went to a pain clinic.   A third party recommend another neurologist and told us what they saw was Parkinsons and to not go back to that Neurologist.   A neighbor turned us on to a Neuro surgeon At UT Southwestern.   We explained my husband's symptoms and provided copy of the testing and they were able to finally able to diagnosed my husband October of 2010.  I lost my husband November 2013.   Thank you  UT Southwestern.  My husband donates himself to further aid in what causes this illness.   I have yet to see or receive the results about what discovered from him gifting himself. 

Go to the national MSA conference if you are a spouse or family member.   It will help you.
