In March of 2011 my husband Arthur Jewell started walking to the left side and he sluring his words when he got tired. Then over time he continued to get worse. He has been to three different neurologist and has had a number of tests. I believe every neurological test there is, and more than once. He had genetic testing and and blood tests. Still no diagnosis. We finally went to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota . He got a diagnosis of a rare disease called Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) . After all the Doctors, the testing, and the money we finally know. There is no treatment , no cure, no hope. We have spent a lot of money out of pocket and we will be spending a lot more for Arthurs care as he continues to get worse. Since the diagnosis Arthur has had to stop working, he no longer can drive and is using a walker full time. He has been seeing a movement disorder specialist to try to keep him comfortable. Please find it in your hearts to help us. Thank you.
