I THINK THAT I HAVE A NUMBER OF PHYSICAL NEUROLOGICAL, LOCKUP, COLLAPSE AND CONVULSION SYMPTOMS.
THERE IS NO NEED TO PUT ONE NAME TO THE INJURY RELATED DISORDER I HAVE SUFFERED FROM TO VARYING DEGREES FOR MOST OF MY LIFETIME.
THE LATEST CLUE I HAVE IS KNOWLEDGE OF THE "STIFF PERSON DISORDER".
I WILL RESEARCH THIS CONDITION.
What triggers stiff person syndrome?
The main symptoms of Stiff Person Syndrome are muscle stiffening in the torso and limbs, along with episodes of violent muscle spasms. These can be triggered by environmental stimuli (like loud noises) or emotional stress. The muscle spasms can be so severe that they cause the person to fall down.
The legs are the most commonly impacted area for these spasms and often lead to falls. The abdominal area can also experience spasms, causing a person to feel fuller faster and lead to unintended weight loss.Dec 8, 2022
It is possible people who have less severe manifestations of stiff person syndrome have been overlooked or possibly misdiagnosed with muscle tension. As more doctors learn to screen people, especially people sent to orthopedic clinics, more people will get the help they need for the long term.
How do I know if I have stiff person syndrome?
Stiff person syndrome can be suggested by findings on electromyography testing (EMG). EMGs assess muscles and the nerves that control them. There are also blood and spinal fluid tests to find GAD antibodies typically found in the disease.
Symptoms of Stiff Person Syndrome
- Extreme muscle stiffness and rigidity
- Most often in the head, neck, back, chest, and limbs
- Less often, but severe, in the leg
- Extreme spasms
- Triggered by stress, loud noises, and other environmental stimuli ( EDITOR'S NOTE : THE COLLAPSES AND CONVULSIONS I EXPERIENCE ARE TRIGGERED IN THE AFTERMATH OF SERIOUS INJURY,BY MY BEING THREATENED, ASSAULTED, SURROUNDED, UNJUSTLY DISBELIEVED, OR SUBJECTED TO POLICE RAIDS.)
- So severe the person can fall down in response
- Difficulty walking
- Anxiety and/or depression
Can stiff person syndrome be cured?
Not yet. Currently, the effects of immunotherapy on neurological syndromes associated with GAD antibodies are incomplete.
