Respiratory dysfunction is the leading cause of death for people with multiple system atrophy. This includes stridor and sleep apnea. In fact, stridor may appear suddenly, even in people without a history of stridor.

Dementia is an umbrella term describing cognitive and memory symptoms. The most common disorder with dementia symptoms is Alzheimer’s Disease. The next two most common disorders with dementia symptoms are Vascular Dementia and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). Most researchers think Vascular Dementia is second, but some argue for DLB.   Learn more.

Parkinsonism is a general term that describes a cluster of symptoms. Not everyone with parkinsonism has Parkinson’s Disease, though the majority do.

The most common disorder involving the protein tau is Alzheimer’s Disease.  Two rare tauopathies are progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration.  Learn more about PSP.  Learn more about CBD.
