CLIPPERS: Looking to connect with others

November appt in Phoenix. New wrinkle: MSA-C has been decided by neuro brains to be my disease. And it is so convenient, too. No meds for it, it is basically a death sentence. There. I am now in a box that can be identified, unlike CLIPPERS. From onset, you have 5-9 years to live. My onset with CLIPPERS was late 50's, and apparently Mayo must have misdiagnosed me, here I am almost 15 years later. These guys don't listen, and I do wonder how much they know about CLIPPERS. My NP shows more interest than these guys. Nobody wants to draw outside the line, it seems. I am sure Barrows will follow suit.
One good thing: between diet and exercise, I am doing fairly well on pred.
Arizona is not a good place for any experimentation.

@liztbnr Oh, I wish someone would/could take the time to help you! I can just imagine how frustrated you are! .
Let’s hope you have good luck at Barrows. Will you be seeing neurologists there?

Here is what Mayo Clinic says about MSA-C. Read through it and be prepared with questions! Maybe Mayo Clinic will help you now
I’m glad your feeling OK. How much prednisone are you on? I probably asked you this, but are you being monitored for osteoporosis while on the prednisone?
Will you stay in touch with me? I care about you and your case really has me confused!
