Super interesting. I'm wondering what the implications are for multiple system atrophy (synucleinopathy + demyelinating disease) in general and for one case in particular - Susana Schnarndorf (paralympic swimmer, former triathlete) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susana_Schnarndorf

@sflorg

my father had #MultipleSystemAtrophy

Turns out Dad had got tangled up in Mum's cushion mountain as he emptied the commode, getting piss over his shoes and the carpet. Mum had for reasons best known to herself moved aside the plastic sheet that sits under the commode. Oh well, that's progressed the plans to get vinyl flooring in there #silverlining

I'm taking Dad to the GP later as his hips are agony and he thinks his #PMR might be returning. Mum wants to die. Isn't this fun boys and girls?

Very interesting - thanks for posting.

A bit OT, but would like to mention that Li is toxic at typical doses in ppl w/ multiple system atrophy.

So far I've not come across an explanation, but study of Li toxicity in MSA might lead to a better understanding of disease mechanisms. I suspect there might be a connection with glycine & heme.

@jwcph While agree that their supporters might not think this, the framers of this plan and many of the other House GOP members that back it, are of the Ayn Rand persuasions... the weak either live or don't.

Also, by making disabled people wait 5 years, they get sicker and require more care by then. There's no net gain for Medicare, just 3 additional years of suffering.

I lost everything waiting the two-years, got sicker & became more dependent due to my #ParkinsonsPlus #MultipleSystemAtrophy
