I've been afflicted with this for years. I've had a variety of tests to no avail. When I read Celine Dion's story about her illness, I was amazed. Finally, a name to what has been plaguing me. Muscle relaxers and ice packs are the only relief I get. I knock on wood that I haven't had an "episode" in public. The pain is excruciating; there aren't words to adequately describe it.

[@jensmith4005]

Funny episode in public: In the grocery during the day with my mom. The power went out and this lady in the same isle screamed like she saw a mushroom cloud. Then there goes me totally stiffen up with my neck tipped and the spasm in my face which looks like I'm a fish that's been hooked. The lady kept screaming then pointed at me and continued to scream. It was funny later.

😢 prayers 🙏

[@debereisinger3057]

I've been affected for about 19 years. I'm now 71 and I've been in physical therapy for 3 months and I'm still getting spasms. My torso/trunk is the only part of my body that gets spasms but they are excruciatingly painful, lasting up to 20 minutes. Bad words come out of my mouth as I'm going through it! I haven't been diagnosed definitively yet, but all the signs are there. I'm sending prayers to all those affected. 🙏🙏

hi all I live in Russia, and since I was 16 I have been faced with a problem that cannot be solved in my country. once a month there are strong attacks of muscle spasms throughout the body it lasts 15-20 minutes my hands are clenched into a fist, my shoulders, chest, arms and legs seem to be shackled, and it becomes difficult to breathe, my tongue goes numb, my eyelids twitch, it seems like I’m dying. please, if you have any thoughts on what this could be, write!

The way to be sure you have stiff person is a blood test Gad test which my diagnosis was made. I first had neck surgery ( my C 3 to C 7 ) in Next Dr. was treating me for Dystonia I had steroid injection in my back muscles 10 injections each time (I almost passed out). Finally they checked my Gad and found I had SPS and immediately sent to a Muscular neurologist and put in the hospital. They tried everything to help me. I have had legs so stiff I couldn’t walk very far. I am now doing better but I’m don’t know when I will be really bad. My back spasms all the time, I have a pillow I use to sit or drive, I stay home most of the time and I can finally walk my dogs!

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure you have your baby by now, so may God be with you all!

being pregnant with this condition has to be terrifying. I sure hope she made it though it ok!

Bless you I will be praying for your family and you

[@KirstyEmery]

So sad. Hoping for a cure

[@1romans122]

It’s good that Celine came forward. She has indeed raised awareness. I pray for a cure for all of you. I read that Parkinson’s may have been traced back gut bacteria inhibiting the update of some kind(s) of nutrition. I don’t know. What I do know is hearing that means people are working on this. Good luck and God bless you and your families and medical teams.

I thought i was dehydrated from spasms

[@mariejoseeblier3614]

This illness is terrible, you are lucky to have your husband taking care of you.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

1. too much calcium in the body, it causes contractions; 2. not enough magnesium, it causes muscles to relax. 3. B vitamin deficiency, any neuro nerve type issue, think of B vitamin deficiency. 4. medicine drugs what is her history. 5. cvd vie russ or the medipoke both are very dangerous indeed, the latter especially.

[@jbwetzstein]

Is there a benzodiazepine connection in these diagnoses?

[@joyperez2430]

Symptoms are very similar to Tetanus

[@dejarogers2576]

Sounds like muscle-skeleton inflammation which can be treated with a significant lifestyle changes. I am now living medfree of Multiple Sclerosis medication.

[@TheShumoby]

I wonder what their diet was like before the diagnosis

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

or their medicine history; drugs are very suspect

[@stephangauthier911]

Every toxin, free radical and inflammatory substance will make it worse. Allergens, hormones, sugar, seed/vegetable oils, oxalates, lectins, fluoride, drugs and alcohol, pharmaceuticals, name them... Even electromagnetic fields. Dehydration and malnutrition/malabsorbtion is also in it, surely due to chronic inflammation/autoimmune disorders. Genetics play a huge part in it. All of my family have been affected. I suspect vitamin D/synapse and a blood/brain barrier disorder. Hyperflexibility is often related to this condition as well, which affects the brain structure and tissues.

[@astrialindah2773]

Or perhaps even the vaccination record? People have been known to get bad batches of vaccines😢

[@beaulieuc8910]

Oh no she will have a kid

[@valentinacardona173]

Such a cruel horrible disease

[@stephangauthier911]

It's not a disease; it's a syndrome. Something is triggering this. I suspect toxins in the brain, blood/brain barrier, vitamin D/synapse disorder or something related to blood sugar. Genetics and shocks (emotional, physical, viral...) make it worse. Covid vaccines and covid in peticular.

[@scottslomka240]

Calcium

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

likely too much calcium; it makes the muscles contract, magnesium makes them relax. also B vitamin deficiency for any neuro issue, wd need big doses...

[@Tad-For-Global-Peace]

Vita k help with calcium I heard

[@veedee3815]

Could it be from artificial origins like invented and the "SPECIALISTS" IS puzzled ,finishing their complicated ambiguous theory sounds questionable. Also familiar.

@@dekoli9957so you’re basically admitting that the only reason it’s getting attention is because awareness is being spread due to Celine Dion. “Correlation is not causation”. Study that quote.
