var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" What is Shy-Drager Syndrome? Is there any treatment? Shy-Drager is often difficult to treat because of the fluctuations in blood pressure. The general treatment course is aimed at controlling symptoms. Anti-Parkinson medication, such as L-dopa, may be helpful but should be used with caution because it can lower blood pressure, causing blackouts. To relieve low blood pressure, dietary increases of salt and fluid may be beneficial. Medications to elevate blood pressure such as corticosteroids may cause side effects and should be carefully monitored by a physician. Alpha-adrenergic medications, metoclopramide, ergotamine derivatives, and indomethacin are useful in many cases. Sleeping in a head-up position at night may reduce headaches and morning dizziness. An artificial feeding tube or breathing tube may be surgically inserted for management of swallowing and breathing difficulties. In rare cases, a pacemaker may be implanted to correct heart irregularities. What is the prognosis?

What Is a Neurologist? Videos ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Symptoms The symptoms vary and depend on which particular form of MSA the patient has. Striatonigral degeneration is practically indistinguishable from Parkinson’s; OPCA is characterized by progressive ataxia (an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements) of the gait and arms and dysarthria (difficulty in articulating words); and Shy-Drager syndrome is characterized by Parkinsonism plus a much more pronounced failure of the autonomic nervous system. Striatonigral Degeneration Striatonigral degeneration is similar to Parkinson’s except tremor is much less common, and cerebellar ataxia (failure of muscle coordination) often develops over time. Pathologically, striatonigral degeneration is defined by abnormalities in the putamen and substantia nigra that are more extensive and localized than what is typical of Parkinson’s disease. Other portions of the basal ganglia (the part of the brain that is responsible for organization of motor movement) are also involved. Striatonigral degeneration is often indistinguishable from Parkinson’s except for the fact that it does not respond to medications that are used to treat the latter. MRI brain images sometimes reveal the severe degeneration of the affected structures and may provide additional diagnostic information.

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Central nervous system Multiple system atrophy Definition: Multiple system atrophy is a degenerative disorder characterized by the following: Progressive damage to the autonomic nervous system (the portion of the nervous system that controls involuntary functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, and sexual function) Muscle tremor and rigidity Slow movement Alternative Names: Shy-Drager syndrome; Neurologic orthostatic hypotension; Shy-McGee-Drager syndrome; Parkinson's plus syndrome Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare degenerative condition. Its symptoms are similar to those of Parkinson's disease in that patients may move slowly, be tremulous, and have a shuffling gait. However, in MSA there is more widespread neurologic damage and damage to the autonomic nervous system (the portion of the nervous system that controls involuntary functions). There is progressive degeneration of the nervous system, with damage to all parts of the nervous system, including the brain. The cause is unknown. MSA develops gradually and is most often diagnosed in men older than 60.

June 02, 2004 Headlines First Look The Dotted Line Pop Quiz ... E! News Live Johnny Cash: I Was Misdiagnosed by Emily Farache Oct 26, 2000, 10:00 AM PT Memo to all maladies: Don't mess with the Man in Black. Johnny Cash , the tough-as-nails musical legend, says he's not struggling with the degenerative neurological disorder Shy-Drager Syndrome as previously thought, nor is he battling Parkinson's disease. Cash tells Nashville's Tennessean that he's healthier than he was a year ago, when he succumbed to a bout of double pneumonia and was hospitalized for several days. a d v e r t i s e m e n t The iconic figure, known for his gritty, slice-of-the-dark-side songs like "Folsom Prison Blues," "Ring of Fire" and "I Walk the Line," says when he announced in 1997 that he had Shy-Drager's, he was misdiagnosed "My doctor told me in November that if I'd had it, I'd be dead by now," Cash tells the newspaper. This would mark the second time Cash has been misdiagnosed. When he made the announcement in '97 that he was suffering from a neurological condition, he originally announced he was suffering from Parkinson's, an incurable neurological disorder with similar symptoms of blackouts, tremors and stiff muscles. At the time, Cash had appeared wobbly on stage and was easily fatigued. Since then, Cash, 68, nearly died of pneumonia in 1998 and quit touring because of various health problems. But Cash now says doctors report he is getting better and have also ruled out Parkinson's as the source of his symptoms.

Encyclopedia Index S Shy-Drager syndrome Definition Shy-Drager syndrome (SDS) is a rare condition that causes progressive damage to the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls vital involuntary body functions such as heart rate, breathing, and intestinal, urinary, and sexual functions. The autonomic nervous system also controls skin and body temperature, and how the body responds to stress . Shy-Drager syndrome leads to dizziness or fainting when standing up, urinary incontinence impotence , and muscle tremors Description SDS was named for neurologists Milton Shy, M.D., from the National Institutes of Health, and Glenn Drager, M.D., from the Baylor College of Medicine, who first described the condition in 1960. It typically affects those between ages 50-70. It affects more men than women. In severe cases, the person cannot even stand up. Symptoms can be mild as well. Sometimes, people with mild cases are misdiagnosed as having anxiety or hypertension Many nonprescription drugs, such as cold medicines and diet capsules, can trigger extremely high blood pressure spikes in patients with SDS, even in very low doses. Therefore, these patients are at risk for strokes and excessive bleeding (hemorrhage) if they take even the recommended dosage of these drugs. Causes and symptoms The cause of SDS is unknown. Symptoms develop because of degeneration of certain groups of nerve cells in the spinal cord.
