Wow! How did you find this article?! If her Stiff Person Syndrome is like so many if us, the excitement of each performance can bring intense pain.
Ohhh! I'd love to see this play! Yes I would imagine performing makes her tight as it does for me with spasticity but if you play a character with your own disability as I did here http://www.cripvideoproductions.com/...fendurance.php you tend to be more relaxed about the whole thing. Its much worse for disabled actors who are told to hide their disabilities when they perform.

A while back I mentioned setting up a Google Alert for "stiff-person syndrome." I did that and have been getting occasional e-mails about it. (I've had an alert set up for MS/Tysabri/PML and for Ocrevus for a while, and some interesting items do turn up.) You could probably set up quite a few of these alerts if you wanted specific information about aspects of the disorder or suggested treatments for it or whatever.
Today's e-mail brought links to a couple of reviews of this woman's show:

Anyone who has Google can subscribe to Google Alerts on any topic. You just name the topic and you'll start getting e-mails about it. I was afraid I'd be deluged with e-mails but actually there are only a couple of them each week--and I now have 3 topics going.
