    I HAVE RECENTLY become disappointed in my neurologist and have been dr shopping.
    The bottom line is that I am now confused by my current evaluation. I have a serious problem with Freezing of gait and have had falling issues from the
    Beginning of my symptoms approximately 5-6 years ago. The problem is whether or not
    I have traditional parkinsons or multiple system atrophy (MSA). The treatment is the same, although I do not respond well to my ever increasing dosage of carba—
    Dopa. In fact,I don’tfeel any noticeable difference in my condition regardless of my medical dosing. I do have most of the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s but have never had any tremors. I am fortunate in that regard but was wondering if anyone Here has been diagnosed with MSA?
    I motived that the trials going on with Vaxxinity Ub-312 are lumping Parkinson’s and MSA together. I was initially told I might have PSP but quickly learned I didn’t have it.I presently have regular caregivers keeping me upright but am really looking forward to any new treatment for motor symptoms. I am getting tired
    Of watching NETFLIX all day.
