Multiple system atrophy with bradykinesia treatment? is this a form of parkinson's. 100% viet nam vet. exposed to agent orange. neuropathy, 3 tias, ca

Can be challenging: However, as similar in some ways to Parkinson's, this is a different disorder. If you have postural blood pressure changes, newer agents may help. But you need further testing regarding the TIA's and neuropathy, as these are NOT usually related to MSA. See an experienced and seasoned neurologist.
