Stiff Person Syndrome: Want to connect with others

Posted by Suzanne Leaf-Brock @suzanneleafbrock, Jul 5, 2011

Am interested in connecting with people who have this or are significant others of people who have this condition. (I'm in the latter group).

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

Hi from U.K. my husband had a stem cell transplant in March 2020 in India, has anyone else had this treatment? He is still on medication but definate improvement and praying he will get full remission, I know he would like to talk to others who have this condition, thank you 🙏

Hi @mandymcintyre and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about Stiff Person Syndrome. I did this so you can connect with @pattygail @sandra319 @peggi @suzanneleafbrock @bryan_in_dallas and @hammere4,

Did your husband go to India for stem cell treatment because it is a treatment not approved in the UK?

I am taking baclofen and just started diazepam this week. My insurance approved IVIG again so I am going once a month. This does slow the progression.
