You may have heard of Stiff Person Syndrome, but do you know what it is?

Stiff Person Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder marked by muscle stiffness and spasms. It can cause pain, weakness and numbness in the arms, hands and legs. A person with SPS may also experience difficulty swallowing; this is caused by muscles in the throat closing off food from entering. Symptoms usually begin as a sharp pain or burning sensation in one part of the body; they then spread to other areas as well as muscle spasms throughout your entire body. If left untreated for long periods of time they can lead to serious complications such as heart attacks or strokes (which are often fatal).

Diagnosis involves meeting with doctors who will perform tests including blood work to determine what kind of medication you need based on their findings! The good news? There are several treatments available today that help relieve symptoms including physical therapy sessions at home where you’ll learn how important it is for these exercises keep up regular routines throughout each day.”

What Is Stiff Person Syndrome?

Stiff Person Syndrome is a rare disease that affects the nervous system, causing muscle stiffness and spasms. It’s characterized by muscle stiffness and spasms that can be very painful for those who suffer from it.

SPS is an autoimmune disease, meaning your body attacks itself in an effort to protect itself from some type of attack or threat—in this case, SPS attacks its own nervous system with antibodies (proteins) produced by white blood cells called lymphocytes that are part of your immune system. The antibodies attach themselves to nerve cells within your body’s central nervous system (CNS) and then begin attacking them. These attacks cause symptoms like muscle cramps or spasms; headaches; fatigue; cognitive problems such as memory loss; emotional issues such as depression or anxiety; pain in joints between bones along certain layers inside bones called ligaments which connect one bone with another bone behind it — all these things happen because they’re caused by inflammation occurring within certain regions around our CNS where neurons reside!

Stiff person syndrome is an extremely rare disease, which is characterized by fluctuating episodes of stiffness affecting muscles all over the body. This condition typically develops in adulthood. Women are affected more than men,” according to Mayo Clinic site.

Symptoms include muscle stiffness and spasms that can be chronic or acute, triggered by stress or exercise, as well as occurring without warning at any time during the day—even while sleeping!

Céline Dion’s story is a reminder that we need to be aware of the effects of SPS, and it may affect others who didn’t know they had it. The best way to prevent this disorder is by getting routine physicals and screenings as part of your regular medical care.
