Nelson and Barbara--thanks for the very useful and interesting info. I am saving it to share with Peter. We have a friend here who has been DXd with MSA, symptoms being gait,balance,voice problems. I also share info from the list with his wife. He is still mobile, though he uses a cane. I'm sure many of your suggestions will be helpful to others on the list--and we appreciate the effort it musdt have taken to produce them! Take care-- Camilla Flintermann,CG for Peter,78/7,Oxford,OH
