My Father - Part 1

This video was shot the day after father's day at my dad's house. In February of 2005, my dad was diagnosed with a rare disorder known as Multiple System Atrophy. It's a slow degenerative disorder that eventually leads to full body shutdown.

I plan on making a whole series of mini-docs with the few years that my dad has left that focus on different aspects of my dad's life. This is the first in that series.

@atacrew do you happen to be on Statin Drugs? My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago and has deteriorated dramatically. After some research i found Statin Drugs can in some instances cause the same symtoms. took him off April 7-2010 He started taking a product Proargin-9 Plus on May 11, his health has improved dramatically

Sorry about your father. I to have been diagnosed with MSA. I have been out of work for over 4 yrs now. Please make a pt 2. This syndrome is rare with no known cure. I was told only 1 out of 100,000 get it.

Thanks for posting a video on this subject. My mom has this. If only there were more than one recording of her playing the piano. She can't hold a fork, sign her name, swallow her food, turn over in her bed. I would like studies on melanocytes and dark substance relating to movement being lost in the brain and how it conducts energy.

David,

Will follow this with interest. My husband also has MSA. Diagnosed 2004. We live in Auckland New Zealand. There is not allot out there about this debilitating disease except what I have found on the net and the forums.

Regards

Anne

David,

God bless you for doing this video. My father also had this terrible disease and it is very, very cruel. Thank you for bringing a little light to the subject.
