Shy Drager Disease, a disease that causes a progressive deterioration of the middle and autonomic nervous system. Shy Drager Disease was first described by Dr. Milton Shy and Dr. Glen Drager back in 1960. The new research has changed the name of the Shy Dragen Disease by combining and summing it up as Multiple System Atrophy.
According to the research and study based on Shy Drager Disease, following can be the symptoms of the Shy Drager Disease.
• A condition that causes slow and stiff movements, spidery and conservative writing and this condition is called Parkinson.
• abnormal breathing during sleep
• Erectile dysfunction
• Urinary and fecal incontinence
• impotence
• Anhidrosis Lack of sweating
• Dry mouth and skin
• Dementia, a temporary or permanent memory loss
• Orthostatic hypotension, raise in blood pressure
The latest research changed the scenario of Shy Drager Disease that was described by Dr. Shy and Dr. Drager in 1960. Now the Shy Drager Disease has been converted into Multiple System Atrophy.
The MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) is a disease that disturbs the working of nervous system causing slow and weak movements, memory loss, and hypotension. The disease is mostly observed in men up to 55% of the total diagnosed patients. The chances of the disease are as low as .046 percent.
Well, on the whole there are no trailed treatments for the Shy Drager Disease or Multiple System Atrophy, the only treatment available is to treat the symptoms on individual level.
