Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Jo , Who at town University is able to diagnose Shy Drager / MSA patients? Several years ago town had lost their expert to the NIH VA hospital (ie Dr. Pincus) and we also had subsequent problems getting anyone at the Department of Neurology acknowledge they had any expertise in the area of Parkinsons Plus. It's too bad that one of the major neurology departments in that area, one whose clinic waiting room often had Parkinson's Plus patients, now doesn't try to even deal with the condition. Peg and Jim from Guam *************************** In August, the good doctors at town University figured out I didn't have a stroke but instead Parkinson Plus MSA. Sinemet didn't change anything for me and the doctors there weren't PD/MSA specialists. I've been floundering around with this diagnosis for a while, no doctor, and no treatment. Just bummed out. So, I searched the Internet and read everything printed about PD/MSA. I found you guys! Today I am going to see a Neurologist/Movement Disorder/MSA Specialist: ne Goldstein in Columbia, MD. Thank you all for being around. Take good care, Jo Greenbelt MD ******************************* ******************************** *** Peg & Jim *** # 29 Cruz Heights *** Ipan-Talofofo, Guam 96930-4736 *** USA *** *** Note: Guam is 15 hours ahead of *** Eastern Standard Time (EST). *** 14 ahead of EDT. ******************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
