The Mayo clinic report gives a means of perhaps dealing with MSA directly by injections into the brain. Your comments are appreciated.

So far his speech is fine and there are days when he walks as normally as anybody else his age. He drives a car. However he sleeps poorly. This, I understand is one of the symptoms of the disease. He uses his stationary bicyle for 1/2 hour a day which he feels is helpful. With new drugs emerging daily and the fond hope that stem cells will soon be available, am I too optimistic that he will start to improve with all the research occuring to stop the disease from progressing.

Are there any specialists in the area whom someone would recommend? I believe she needs a fresh look at her disease and what we might be able to do to slow its progression.

My brother is 69 years old and he is experiencing the beginning of Parkinsons disease, so this finding is very welcome. I am going to forward the link to this article to him this morning.
