Stiff Man Syndrome Support Group
(UK, 1099206) Browse events
YTD Raised: £530.00Stiff Man Syndrome was the name assigned to the condition when first identified in the 1950s by Moersch and Woltman in the USA. In recent years, in the modern world of PC, the condition has also become known as Stiff Person Syndrome. SMS or SPS does not appear to differentiate between sex, colour, or creed, although UK evidence tends to suggest women are more likely to fall victim to SMS. SMS is a neurological condition believed to be of auto-immune origin. It is unique among neurological diagnoses due to its lack of significant similarity to any other neurological diseases. Although rare, once observed it is quite unforgettable. Because of its rarity, many neurologists and GPs are not aware of the condition. In most cases, the first symptoms are insidious and victims are often initially misdiagnosed with depression. The onset is most frequent between the third and fourth decades of life. Liz Blows, who set up the UK and Ireland Support Group in 1998, began presenting symptoms in 1990 but it wasn’t until three years later that it became clear something was seriously wrong and she set off in search of a diagnosis that eventually came in 1997. She began the support group with just five members to champion the cause of this little known and misunderstood disease. Today, there are more than 100 members in the group and she remains passionate about raising awareness in both the public and medical sectors.
