Hello, I am new to this list. I have two brothers with very similar symptoms. One brother has had what I believe is parkinsons for the past 6 or 7 years. It started with tremors of his right hand and has progressed to an unsteady gait and very deliberate movement. He refuses to see a doctor and receive a diagnosis. Another one of my brothers has just been diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy. My questions are: 1. Is there any relationship between Parkinsons and MSA. 2. If my brother with parkinsons (or what I perceive to be parkinsons) really has MSA.. how could 2 brothers have what is supposed to be a rare disease and is also not supposed to be heriditary? Thank you for any advice you can give me.
