I am NOT associated with Dr. Strand nor am I in a position to gain in any way from this posting. I simply passed along the information which I got from his website. I am a member of the Shy-Drager/Multiple System Atrophy email based support group. My mother-in-law had the sporadic OPCA form of Multiple System Atrophy, she passed away last year. Hope this clears up the confusion.
