I have had SPS since 1989. I appreciate the effort of the ehow article and the exposure it brings to Stiff Person Syndrome. I wish to correct one of the inaccuracies of the article. Benzodiazepines are a 'classification' of medications of which Valium is the name brand of the generic diazepam in that group. There are several drug classifications, i.e. epileptic and anti-spasticity medications used to treat SPS symptoms along with various immunosuppression therapies such as IVIg.

Reading this article and the varying comments, I would like to give a few perspectives as a family member of one with SPS. SPS shares some of the symptoms of hyperkplexia...such as spasmodic reactions due to a heightened startle reflex, rigidity and falling. SPS is NOT genetic. Hyperkplexia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. SPS is progressive. Google the NINDS description of both disorders.

I have started a video blog to try and share my RSD story... http://rellacafa.blogspot.com Please feel free to share my videos, the further we can spread the word the better. -Caf

please forgive my upset, I have lost my drivers liscense, my family cant bear to see me most times. I was is the hospital 14 times last year, cost about $20,000. I have site on Utube, but it dosnt show the back spasms. Before the baclafin, I sneased and broke my rib from the sternum, tearing all the muscle loose from the bone. Just being stiff, I can handle that, some of the side effects are amazingly devastating to your life. God bless all who are managing this disease. Michael

I live with sps everyday and fight to stay in my life. With my SPS, I have the oportunity to experiance Hyper-Plexia and Myoclonos as well. I give Kudos to anyone who even trys to stay in their life and not be downed by this insidious disease. I get to chose...Water the lawn, or remain pain free and mobile for the day. Some days the spasms are so bad I actually give myself concussions, making my eyes swell and causing many side effects. I take offense at a curt Nickle side show flippant response. You must have one of the mildest forms, and I consider you lucky. I have the unique privilige of watching my 3 brothers come down with this also one at a time....two wanted to stay pain free...90 units of morphine a day, 10 or more Norco and 2 bottles of 2 wine, plus his priscription meds. I choose the pain and my mind intact. Do you have Neuropothy in your hands and feet yet? Do they keep you a

My medical expertise is limited to SPS...qualifications: living with the syndrome for 18 years as a front-line combatant in the trenches, losing comrades in the battle. My audience lives the reality of serious chronic illness. With deep sorrow, not pride, I have been extensively read by those living a severely challenged life.

Regardless of your thoughts or opinions on any of the E-how articles..KEEP IT RESPECTFUL. Otherwise, they will be removed from this site.
