Ha! Being in warmer climates definitely seems helpful for SPS patients but the sun doesn’t penetrate the muscles like other heat modalities. Some people find Botox injections and/or acupuncture are helpful, but they don’t work for me. You probably need a diagnosis for Botox but not for acupuncture.

FYI-My EMG was negative and my GAD 65 was negative, so I was initially diagnosed with atypical, classical SPS. Basically I exhibited all of the symptoms and responded to Valium. Many other conditions were ruled out and tests were negative. But I am now positive for GAD. My level was 0 in 2019 at diagnosis and is now 230 (Elisa test).
