MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY
John Morgan was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) in 2003.
MSA is a neurological illness that involves dying brain cells - it primarily causes widespread autonomic dysfunction but also movement and balance problems. The condition is severe and the general prognosis is between six and ten years. It is also rare, affecting only about five persons per 100,000 - some are misdiagnosed as Parkinson's Disease. Due to its rarity, over the years MSA has struggled to attract significant funding for research.
