> My name is Stacy Mayle and I'm 47 years old. I was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) 4 years ago, after developing symptoms at age 37. It took 10 years to diagnose since it is such a rare disorder. Causing the muscles in my body to become stiff and/or spasm which is extremely painful. I can no longer completely care for myself. Because of this I've have to live with my parents. I am currently being treated with IV immunoglobulin (IVIG) for 6 hours for 2 days every 3 weeks. I take multiple muscle relaxers and pain killers medications to try to keep the pain and spasms under control. Some days are better than others, but I live in pain 24/7. But, it could be worse!!
