We saw these “tips and tricks” on an online community for those coping with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). The tips are about sitting down, using plastic bowls and a cookie sheet, using a lanyard, toileting, prism glasses, leak-proof underwear, and more.

At the end, she shares this message: “I often am asked how I stay so positive, and my response is always ‘It’s one thing I can control’.”
