We started noting changes in mental apititude in the summer of 2013. Took a while to figure out what to do but eventually ended up with a diagnosis of Multiple System Atrophy in June 2016. Symptons started in February of 2013. At first we thought it was Parkinsons, then Dementia with Lewy Bodies but not have settled on MSA. My husband is a role model. He never complains, tries his hardest and still loves to laugh. Communication is tough as most words are mumbled but we struggle through. Love and joy still live in our house.
