What is stiff person syndrome?
Stiff person syndrome is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that most commonly causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms that come and go and can worsen over time. However, some people experience other symptoms such as an unsteady gait, double vision or slurred speech.
Science:
the cause of Stiff Person Syndrome remains unknown, researchers suspect it may be caused by an autoimmune reaction.
Specifically, the immune system seems to attack a protein called glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which helps make a substance called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
What you cannot do:
Unable to do many of the activities he previously could, such as driving, cleaning, cooking, and walking the dog – and is even unable to hug his family.
The rare, progressive neurological disorder causes stiff muscles in the torso, arms and legs.
Who might get it (orang putih stats)
SPS affects twice as many females as males.
It is frequently associated with other autoimmune diseases such as type-I diabetes, thyroiditis, vitiligo, and pernicious anemia.
Scientists don't yet understand what causes SPS, but research indicates that it is the result of an autoimmune response gone awry in the brain and spinal cord.
