MSA

We thought our dad had Parkinsons but he had MSA. He died in the first lockdown alone due to covid. He was only 57.

For years we thought it was Parkinsons but chsngesmade it clear it wasnt. Watching him lose mobility was hard. I’m still unsure(aware doctors also) if it changes the mind. He acted really oddly towards the last week or two.

Just wondered if anyone else had experiences
