Two Helpful Links

I have been intending to add some links to my blog that may be helpful to others, but I have been a bit busy and forgetful lately. I will get around to it when it gets cold and we get home from our next vacation. For now, here are two links that I think you will all find interesting.

The first is simply the best idea ever - World MSA Day. I found out about too late to do anything this year, but next year I hope to plan something for awareness in my area. Perhaps you will wish to do the same. Her is the link.

The next one I found through the Shy Drager support group on Yahoo. I know that all of us have had difficulty talking about MSA/Shy-Drager with others, even our doctors. This dude, Paul, made a pamphlet explaining the disease and it is wonderful. It's written in simple language and it's very well done.

I hope that these two links will get you thinking today.

I received an update from the yahoo groups today, and there was a link for a clinical study that those of you in earlier stages of MSA may be interested in pursuing. Dennis does not qualify because of his severe speech and swallowing impairment, but I hope some one out there will qualify.
