Neurological Disorders Forum - multiple systemic atrophy

My sister is being studied for this disease. I would like to know more about it. I have heard it is incurable. Is that true? Are there any treatments that might mitigate the symptoms? Is it true that the prognosis is death within 7 years? If she does have this, are there any places where she could contact people living with the same disease for support? I will look forward to hearing from someone in response to these questions and concerns.
