Stiff-man Syndrome (a.k.a. Moersch-Woltmann Syndrome) by Ron Kennedy, M.D., Santa Rosa, California Stiff-man syndrome, also called Moersch-Woltmann syndrome, is a rare, severe autoimmune neurologic disease involving the central nervous system. Autoimmune disorders are caused when the body's immune system, which is meant to defend the body against bacteria, viruses, and any other foreign product, malfunctions and produces antibodies against healthy tissue, cells and organs. The disease is characterized by a progressive rigidity or stiffness of the muscles caused by a diffuse hypertonia (excess muscular tension or pressure) involving the voluntary muscles of the neck, shoulders, trunk, arms and legs. Painful muscle spasms may also be present. Unlike many autoimmune diseases which have a higher incidence in women, stiff-man syndrome is found more frequently in men. Approximately 70 percent of those afflicted are men. Oddly enough, women can have the stiff-man syndrome. While the exact cause of stiff-man syndrome is not clear, autoimmunity is thought to be a factor. The frequent occurrence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus IDDM ), (also referred to as

MOERSCH-WOLTMANN SYNDROME – aka: Stiff Man Syndrome (SMS)– SURVEY WRITE THE QUESTION # EACH RESPONSE PERTAINS TO. All names and e-mail addresses are confidential, only general demographic information totals will be researched. NO NAMES WILL EVER BE REVEALED. No one will get your e-mail address or other personal information from us. All such information is understood to be totally confidential. This English version is sent to respondents in Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, England, Ireland, and other English-speaking countries. The main purpose is to compile and categorize related information concerning Your Syndrome from sources around the world. There are actually four different surveys below: "GENERAL", "WELL-BEING", "CHILDREN", "ADULT FEMALE", and "ADULT MALE" Each respondent is asked to at least complete the first two: GENERAL and WELL-BEING In addition to those, please choose ONE additional category from the remaining three sections: CHILDREN, ADULT MALE, or ADULT FEMALE. Hopefully you will then have responded to a total of three. Like in all things in life, all people are not effected the same in all situations. Some questions will have nothing to do with you at all. Some people do not have severe symptoms, others do. Some are mildly effected, others are more seriously effected. Please give answers to all the questions in each section that you choose. If a particular question does not apply to you, then say something to indicate that fact (ie, does not apply to me, N/A, etc.) Otherwise, we don't know why you chose not to answer and we will assume that you forgot.

Darkness to Light Home Page Stiff Person Syndrome (Formerly Stiff Man Syndrome) Part One by Gary F. Zeolla On December 12, 2001 I was diagnosed with “Stiff Person Syndrome.” After being diagnosed, I began searching the Internet to see what I could find out about this syndrome. Below is a summary of what I gleaned from various sources. But first, some background. Note: All of the links scattered throughout this five-part article are listed at the end of this article. So if you find a link that looks interesting to follow, you can wait until you're finished reading this lengthy article and still have quick access to it. Background For several years I have been stretching for at least 15 minutes before and/ or after working out. And at the beginning of 2001 I was very flexible. For instance, I could easily stand with both legs stiff and place my palms on the floor. But on a very cold day in February I went for a walk of about an hour. Near the end of the walk I pulled a muscle on the back of my left knee. After resting it for a couple of days, I started trying of stretch it using a modified “hurdler’s stretch.” Formerly, I could easily place my nose on my knee while doing this stretch. But the left leg was now so tight I could barely bend forward. And this tightness never has eased up.

Stiff-Man Syndrome Stiff-man syndrome, which may also be referred to as Moersch-Woltmann syndrome, is a rare, severe autoimmune neurologic disease involving the central nervous system. The disease is characterized by a progressive rigidity or stiffness of the body musculature. The stiffness is caused by a diffuse hypertonia (excess muscular tension or pressure) that involves the voluntary muscles of the neck, shoulders, trunk, arms and legs. Painful muscle spasms may also be present. Unlike many autoimmune diseases which have a higher incidence in women, stiff-man syndrome is found more frequently in men. Approximately 70 percent of those afflicted are men. While the exact cause of stiff-man syndrome is not clear, autoimmunity is thought to be a factor. Genetic factors have not been established, although familial occurrences of the disease and/or other autoimmune disorders appear to point in this direction. The frequent occurrence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), also referred to as type 1 diabetes, in stiff-man syndrome supports this hypothesis.
