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.

@suzieflynn, I have no medical background or training but I'm not sure anyone can tell you what's going to happen because the prognosis varies depending on a person’s symptoms. You can find more information here:
