MSA is just an awful disease I had to watch my Partner and beloved Frank slowly getting worse and then taken away from me devastated that I have lost him, he was so young only 53 when he passed I miss him so much.

There is no cure hopefully one day there will be and that our Loved ones can live longer it’ would be wonderful.

Thank you you’re very welcome

We are so sorry that Frank lost the battle against this awful disease and our hearts go out to at this time.We all know that this condition shortens lives and does not care when or how old anyone is, we just hope that the more we share and inform the more chance of a cure in the future.

Peace be with you.

I'm sincerely sorry to hear about Frank, I,m 52 and diagnosed just over a year now but i'm shocked at the speed and rate of this bloody diseases' progression including all the bizarre symptoms.

I know i appear to be flippant and jokey about this journey but it's the only way i can get to navigate my way back home when MSA finally takes me there.

Everyone on here is in my thoughts.

Thank you and you’re absolutely right this disease is just awful. I believe not the same progression for everyone but it holds no bars. So my advice to everyone with this disease go and enjoy every day as best as you can for as long as you can. I know it’s not always easy because of the pain you might in but try and give it your best shot. Take care All you lovely people with this illness Lots of love and God bless xx
