Shelly, I looked up the rash name, and it looks like it’s an autoimmune type rash. I have several autoimmune diseases, but I’ve never seen anywhere that they are connected to MSA. I’m sure that rash as you described it is very miserable for him and for you. If you can arrange it, think about getting some help so you can preserve yourself. No patient wants the one they love to make themselves ill caregiving. Also, if some of the bigger things like showering, etc could be managed by an outside caregiver there might be more time to enjoy each other’s company and walk down the memory lane of old days. Keep in touch. I’m praying for you both. ❤️

This is what Joe has:
While multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurological disorder, it is not directly known to cause rashes. However, there is some evidence suggesting an association between MSA and bullous pemphigoid (BP), an autoimmune skin condition characterized by blistering.
