"Stiff person syndrome"
What kind of disease is it?
Chief physician Qiu Wei, assistant to the president of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said: "This disease, also known as 'wooden man', is a very rare autoimmune and nervous system disease. Celine Dion's symptoms are typical. Chief Physician Qiu Wei pointed out that most of the patients were women, and their backs were as stiff as a piece of wood when they visited the clinic, making it difficult to walk and easy to fall when walking. This is a major blow to the patient's body and mind, seriously affecting the quality of life.
"Stiff person syndrome" usually causes stiffness and spasm of the muscles of the trunk and limbs. Patients may develop symptoms early in the disease and eventually become a status quois. Stiffness and spasms usually begin in the muscles of the legs and trunk, especially the lower back, and over time, affect the arms and even the face. Other symptoms, such as unsteady gait and unexplained falls, may also occur.
Because of the common symptoms of stiff muscles in the lower back, this disease is easily misdiagnosed as "ankylosing spondylitis", a rheumatological immune disease. The patient is treated according to the idea of rheumatic immune disease, and after not improving, he may be diagnosed with "hysteria and anxiety disorder", and finally referred to the neurology department before being diagnosed.
Qiu Wei appealed that if you unfortunately have stiff legs and torso, unable to walk, after ruling out ankylosing spondylitis and other causes, you should go to the neurology department for relevant examinations, early treatment, and at the same time to reduce pressure on the soul and face the challenges of the disease optimistically.
