Werre...not a lot of movement in rib cage with respiration..and manganes

July 20, 2002

Hi Bill. Sorry to be so long in replying. My Mom is sick as well so

I'm more or less running between the 2 houses and stopping once in a

while to pick up e-mail etc.

I'm not having a lot of luck with 's doctors so I wonder where I

could find information on what sort of exercises he could do to help

his chest muscles. Would this cause him to have a shortage of oxygen

and if so, could it be contibuting to his confusion at all?

was a welder for many years and I'm not sure if the steel he

welded had manganese in it or not. I just ran across some

information on a disease called manganism and it had a lot of the

same symptoms as MSA.

Bill, I was also wondering where to find information on the stages of

MSA or is there any information out there to sort of act as a guide

to help you know where you are with this demon disease?

The supreme irony around here this week is, our eldest grandson has

just been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome...tics caused by either an

excess of dopamine or an abnormal reaction to dopamine. His Papa

could use some of that extra dopamine if only his body could make use

of it.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks

Pat from NS
