Nancy, try this http://www.lycos.com/srch/?lpv=1&loc=fromnetscape&src=NETSCAPE&query=Multipl e+Systems+Atrophy+Research There's a paper dated 1/31/99 that may supply info. Also, I would think that research done for PD pulls in the PD+ers, too. If I come across anything that might help will pass it on. Also responded to a note from you, but it disappeared from my screen. If you don't get it, let me know, and I'll begin again. E May we all walk in the headdress of the sun.
