Re: What is multiple system atrophy?

I'm sorry to here about your friend . (I'm not from the U.S. so I don't 
know about he hospitals you mentioned above) But I know a little about the 
disease called "multiple system atrophy" ... (I also looked on the internet 
for some clues ...and pasted it on the bottom of this mail) As far as I 
know, multiple system atrophy, is a nerve cell disease in which some area's 
of nerve cells in your brain die. And we still don't know what causes it or 
what to do about it ... 

If you want to know more about it ...just go to the following Internet
