I was diagnosed with MSA in 2015, it is an incurable and fatal neuromuscular disease its symptoms are similar to Parkinson's disease and MS. It is very difficult for me to do daily activities by myself and renders me extremely tired most days, to the point where I will fall asleep at the dinner table, it effects my vision making it hard to focus. My balance is effected as well I get dizzy easily, talking and swallowing are difficult as well and writing anything down is impossible due to lack of fine motor movements. MSA is thought to be caused by heavy metal ingestion like fillings in your teeth.
