I am a former teacher and assistant head. I loved my job but took early retirement because i feltI was not pulling my weight. A year later I still felt ill and was dianosed with parkinsons disease. When balance became a real issue I had a MRI scan and showed early signs of MSA. A year later about two monthe ago Isuddenly deteriorated aafter consultation decided as i was getting some benefit to up my dose of SINAMET to get me through summer and my visits and vjsitors to France where we have what they call a"mobilhome"I am going into hospital tommorow tobe taken off the medication.

I am to be reassessed for medication,as the side effects are mimicing the condition.I also have sleep behaviour issues.i have had small indications af motor problems for much of my life, which have largely been thought irrelevant thoough interesting. I am being treated at the National Hospital for neroscience and neurosurgery in London.
