If you desire information on Shy Drager Disease or Syndrome, you may be interested in the Shy Drager list discussion, much like the Parkinsn list, run from Vanderbilt University. Information about that list is available at http://www.wenet.net/~ccjm/shy-drager/e-list.html Vanderbilt University also has an Autonomic Dysfunction Center which is building a Web Site with information about several aspects of Shy Drager Syndrome and Multiple System Atrophy. This site still appears to be under construction, however. http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/gcrc/adc/sdfund.html Jorge Romero ----- Original Message ----- From: Ladye Buckner <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 6:26 AM Subject: Re: niacin / SHY-DRAGER > Does anyone have information on Shy-Drager Syndrome?
