We don't know just how long I've had it bc I had MS too and I never told my doc about my symptoms bc I thought the MS were causing symptoms and one day I told him and I was tested 3 times, all positive but I'm SO very sorry for you and your daughter. The only thing worse than being sick yourself is seeing your child sick.

🌷🌻🌼🌷🌻🌼 SPS is a lonely place to be. It is made worse by all the misdiagnosis. Friends and family get tired of hearing it is one thing, then nope, it isn't that. Finally they become convinced we are either pretenders or crazy. When we are finally on the right track, we can feel the difference, but to them it is just another thing. They are tired of medications that make us moody or lethargic. They are tired of hearing us say we don't think this doctor gets it. It is tough for us to experience the pain, embarrassment, frustration and fear, but it is tough for them too. What they see is someone who cancels plans, breaks promises, makes excuses, and complains all the time. SPS is a relationship killer. A relationship which withstands the gales the condition hurls, is a rare and beautiful thing. I've lost people too.

I'm very sorry for your lost. 😞🙏 How ignorant many doctors are. When they don't know something they're 🤔 "it's not real", "you're faking it", you're exaggerating". 😑 I've been struggling to get right diagnosis for years. My ex boyfriend who's doctor (German) was ignoring me most of the time, he changed a lot when I began to get sick (years ago). We were going to get married but finally he didn't want to. I've been struggling to get medical attention. I'm not in the US. He was telling that is Fibromyalgia and advise me to go to psicotherapy and he said that I should stop looking for. I don't know if I have this disease yet, I'll get the tests. I'd rather know than not to know. I have other's autoinmune diseases. It's awful. But I hope to get right diagnosis soon. I'd love to have quality of life. Warm Regards. Blessings ❤️

Hello dr.Newsome. I live in small country in EU. Croatia. I was lucky to have diagnosed my SPS: trunk and legs, soon after I realised that is not psychological problem. My pshycatrist had dineyed everything I suggested. So, I am a woman who was than 45 y.o. and found neurologist who discovered antiGAD in my blood. She gave me diazepam. In the beginning I didn't have pain but 2016. After big stress I started to have strong painfully spasms in my back. That was horrible. I am sensitive to laud, touching and can't walk alone. Sorry about my English...I learned another language. Question: can I get now, after ten years diabetes?

I am dealing with what I believe is Stiff Persons Syndrome currently. I have had lumbar surgery with a laminectomy from L2 to S1 and a discectomy and a discectomy from C4-c5. I have had pulmonary emboli and a DVT in my right arm along with two other superficial clots in the right arm. I began not being able to stand with the walker for about 1 minute or less before I would tremble severely and fall to the ground. Even before my surgery, I would have these seizure-like muscle spasms that would last for hours at times. Previous to that, I had a back muscle that locked down for over 8 months while trying dry needling, the tens unit, massage, heat, and ice. Absolutely nothing would get this muscle to stop spasming until I had my surgery. Now I have a number of muscles that lock down or twitch severely without control and experience a shocking feeling through my body and am having partially blank vision, double vision, and my arms and legs lock up along with every muscle in my neck, abdomen, chest, and back. Legs included. This can go on for hours. The longest that I recall is 31 hours of hard-core spasms without a break until the correct combo of medication was administered. The most effective medicine combination is Valium 5mg and Dilaudid 4mg PO forms at the home, of course, at the minimum. This will usually give me some relief in roughly 20-50 minutes, depending on the severity. At the larger severity, 5mg of IV Valium is administered if available. Otherwise, it is Advan injected in the rump, and it took about 30 minutes for all of that to take effect for a bit of peace. I have been to Piedmont Atlanta, Hospital, Atrium Navicient Hospital Macon, which had set me up to go home and live with the pain because they were releasing me to the community due to the fact that there was nothing they could figure out. The GNI Neurosurgeon said "It is not that there is nothing wrong with your spine, it is that there is so much that I don't feel able to repair the conditions and I needed to be somewhere like Emory University Hospital to better care for me." I hired a private ambulatory service because Atrium Navicent refused to log a transport. I went to Emory and entered the ICU because I couldn't walk. Dr. Heller performed his surgery, and I was able to move both of my legs and stand up. The next day, the PT gentleman let me sidestep. The next day, I was able to walk just over 350 steps with excellent posture. Now, I'm back to not walking. I'm angry with what is happening. The neurologist here did explain to me that they have the blood panels back and a likely diagnosis of stiff person syndrome. Is there any more information about John's Hopkins that you may extend to me about securing a bed there for a proper diagnosis and information on treatment options. Thank you for your efforts and time with this matter. Highest regards, Daniel R. Smith

I am helped somewhat by gabapentin. It is an anti seizure medication, but gets used for lots of other issues too. Keep these videos close at hand whenever you see any doctors, because what's more rare than SPS, is medical professionals who have ever heard of it. Most ERs have no idea what to do with a severe rigidity episode. Whether this is what you have or not, I'm sure your suffering is real. I wish calm for you. There are actually support groups on FB for people behave this. Mostly we are just there for each other when things get bad.

Make sure they check the GAD antibodies and your T cells. I don't know all the technical terms but the level of GAD antibodies is a major feature of SPS. Just make sure they do these tests. My first doctor only did a spinal tap and a brain MRI. The initial diagnosis was MS. Then I went for a second opinion at a university hospital - the top one in California and their tests showed SPS. This was confirmed by another set of tests. It took about 2 years but as bad as it is to have SPS it's better to know so you can start treatment. Best wishes!

I knew how my muscles were effected and how it moved and affected my body and mind at any given time... I hate the fact that I have all this knowledge and cannot afford insurance to go to these places and give information on how this disease moved in my body. When and how it accelerated and what seems to help me most in fact that my system has been purer to what happens me while to others using more medications, I have mostly been on only one.

Find...if possible a neuromuscular specialist at a university. Often they will treat for free or at a very reduced rate. Sps is so "rare " (which I don't agree with) a chance for treating a rare disease patient is an opportunity for them

Go to clinicaltrials.gov and enter "stiff person syndrome". There is one autologous stem cell transplant treatment by Dr Richard Burt at Northwestern, but I don't know of anyone who has had a response to his protocol. My Dr has one patient who went through it with no improvement. His protocol has been fairly successful in MS though. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02282514

I too have stiff person Syndrome. I live in horrible pain 24/7. I get IVIG INTRAVENOUSLY and steroids. I have severe Abdominal pain and it gets worse when I eat. My neck locks up and hurts it's a whole body issue. Sometimes it feels like someone is pinching my arms really hard. When it's really bad over my whole body all I can do is scream.

I'm healing and gaining strength after 5 years of Horror. I was never diagnosed, my doctors were flummoxed.

3 factors need to be present to develop an autoimmune disorder 1. genetic susceptibility 2. immunre regulation 3. environmental triggers - with only one missing you won't have the disease - a wise man said in his video. Plus GFdiet is an effective therapeutic intervention. They say it's not curable bc it is genetically predispositioned but it doesn't mean you can't be asymptomatic.

The only talk I've heard on these videos about a cure - and this was recent and this video is 6 years old - was one doctor saying a hidden cancer in the body can cause SPS and if you can remove the cancer the SPS will go with it. So anyone so diagnosed should be given a complete, total and full screening for cancer. But the bad news is only a very small percentage of people with SPS have a hidden cancer so it's a rare cause for a rare disease.
