Feedback on MSA News October 2002

[Guest guest]

I think Zac did a great job on the article " SPECIAL REPORT: Synopsis

of the Chicago SDS/MSA Meeting " published in the Multiple System Atrophy

News - October 2002 issue. I hope everyone takes the time to read it. If

you somehow missed receiving a copy of the October issue please let me know.

I also wanted to pass along this great feedback I received today which is

specifically referring to Zac's article.

A reader states:

" Thank you for this amazing info about MSA.

I appreciated how parkinson disease and MSA were

distinguished in the article. Also I did not realize

that there is not a drug designated for MSA like their

is a drug designated for parkinsons.

Again, I knew that MSA was a variable disease but I

didn't realize that there were at least three types of

MSA and that a person with MSA could have symptoms

from the each of the three different types of MSA. "
