Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder which mimics Parkinson’s disease, known as a "Parkinson’s Plus" syndrome. It also causes symptoms which are not normally found in Parkinson’s, such as urinary problems, dizziness on standing, and having problems with balance. Imagine knowing what treatments work for people just like you — and having the ability to easily connect with those people. That’s what makes PatientsLikeMe different. By sharing your symptoms, treatments and more, you can gain insight into what affects your condition while helping others learn from your experiences. Together, we can achieve more. Begin making a difference today!
