My son died of PSP.....barely age 55. The first symptoms were DOUBLE VISION, heavy FATIGUE, and intermittent SLURRED SPEECH.

Until the symptoms progress/appear (approx 3 years), difficult to call the diagnosis

YouTube, Jim Bower from the Mayo clinic......excellent presentation MAKING A DIAGNOSIS OF PSP, CBD, OR MSA.

My condolences to you, at the loss of your son! Thanks for sharing! I have watched that Mayo Clinic You Tube video. It was very helpful! I was concerned about the MSA symptoms, upon presentation, and I got an answer about that, from the video. These neuro-degenerative ailments can be quite tricky, to diagnose, for sure! It’s rough, dealing with a life cut short, by PSP, or MSA! Again, please accept my condolences for your loss!
