Prognosis
The progression of stiff person syndrome depends on whether you have an abnormal or typical type. The presence of some comorbidities can also have a determining role. Early diagnosis and treatment can help slow down this progression. The condition is mostly responsive to treatment, but it can progress and stabilize on a periodical basis. Even when you follow treatment, stiffness can still affect some daily tasks. Indeed, more than half of affected patients cannot function independently. [9]
