One of the docs in the long line of docs we have been seeing up here at Mayo said to my mom the other day, "So they think you have MSA, is that right?"
My mom looked at them and said, "We've not been told anything yet."
I know they have been testing thinking ALS or MSA, but what really is the difference here? they both look pretty awful, I know, but the google searches I find are that MSA progresses a little slower than ALS and acts more like Parkinsons than ALS.
Does anyone here know anything about MSA and how it differs?
