Good morning and welcome to Connect..Here is a discussion group about Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). What is the infusion that you will be getting? Is your physician a rheumatologist?
I, too, felt alone when I got my diagnosis because no one in my town had even heard of it. My brother in law, a toxicologist, sent me an article from a neurological journal that I made copies of and gave to doctors. Never hurts to do research and be your own advocate. I’m sitting here now, getting my infusion of rituxan, my wonder drug!
