I'm sorry about your mother's diagnosis. There isn't any medication that cures MSA. Her doctor should be able to help with symptom relief but these treatments will not slow the progression or cure the disease. You can help her by making sure that she is seeing a doctor who is knowledgeable with movement disorders.

Hello, so sorry to hear about your mother. There is a load of information on the MSA Trust web site and some factsheets which may help you here: msatrust.org.uk/support-for-you/factsheets/

As Ruffner has said, as yet there is no medication specifically for MSA but there is help you can receive for the symptoms.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have here.

Take care, Ian
