Cheyne-Stokes

[Guest guest]

There has been a lot of talk about cheyne-stokes. Does this seem to be common

with the persons with MSA? Your descriptions match exactly the way Jerry

breathed when asleep. I kept thinking he had sleep apena but figured he had

enough problems without making him go through a sleep test. He was being

treated for PSP and it never came up as a question on the PSP list. Brain

research showed he had MSA.

Also something I have not heard you mention thus far, and that is the patient

being really hateful and verbally hurtful for short periods of time. Also, the

patient grabbing hold of you and having to force them to let go by prying their

hands loose. This was a constant question on the PSP list and two things Jerry

never did. I am trying to sort out the differances.
