Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hello Everyone: Me again After two years of running to any doctor who would listen we are completely exhausted. My husband was diagnosed by Hospital in St. Louis, MO with MSA (Neurologist Diagnosed him). THe neurologist added that it was really to early for all the signs to appear. Soooooooooooooooo I took my husband to another physician who supposedly specialized in MSA in Springfield , IL. Well guess what that specialist says NO to MSA because the only symptom that my husband doesn't have YET out of the list is low blood pressure. The Springfield Dr. says some form of ATAXIA?????? When I asked for more specifics of course I was treated like I had four eyes. Now my husband has had to go back to his family doctor for his eyelids not wanting to stay open, pain in his legs, not being able to get from a sitting position to a standing position and bowel/urine incontinence. Seems like I only email this group when I have gone to my limit. Any suggestions? We see the Neurologist in Springfield this Thursday again. Wish there was a pill for my husband to take to make this all so much better. If anything I am totally frustrated with wondering does he have it or does he not. Please do not come back and say well autopsy is the only definite way of telling. We had one Dr that we walked out on because he told my husband, " If you would allow me to autopsy your brain I would be able to tell you. " Needless to say we haven't gone back to that Physician.
