As of 2018 the current life expectancy for MSA is 7 - 10 years after first symptom onset. This is highly variable from person to person. There are known autopsy confirmed MSA cases where a patient survived 18 years.

Current thinking is 6-9 years following the first symptoms. However, it is often hard to determine when someone experienced their first symptoms. And if what we know about Parkinson’s holds true, by the time the first symptoms show up, the disease has been present for awhile.

If you want to register for information on Clinical Trials, the Michael J Fox foundation provides information on all of the trials and you can sign up there.

It is estimated that the person can survive 6 to 7 years, but it depends on the age of onset of the disease. The younger the person, the more years with the disease. Still no cure for the disease.

Does anyone with MSA experience the sensation like you are "bobbing up and down" on a boat?  I experience this most of the time.  It tends to lessen by standing up or laying down!  If so, do you know what it is?
