For many with Stiff Person Syndrome, positive emotion such as the feeling one gets socializing with a friend, causes painful stiffening . It’s a weird symptom and makes us look Nuts.
I find myself avoiding or limiting socializing. The side effect is bad: isolation. Which can feed sadness.
I been trying to avoid people less. I gotta work on being around friends more.
I get frantic around non friend people in public as the stiffening and pain intensify in mildly stressful situations such as a curt salesperson. Then, it’s a Herculean effort not to cry. Gotta work on that too.
Hoping others, such as yourself, might chime in and share experiences or tips even.
