Hi I have been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome along with Anti GAD Ataxia and Gluten Ataxia. I've been Gluten free now for nearly 7 months and have seen an improvement in my brain fog and tremors but the pains and stiffness are getting worse. I'm on Baclofen and gabapentin but not helping yet so probably have to have bigger doses. I also see Professor Marios Hadjivassiliou and live in Sheffield. Do you have anti GAD antibodies? Mine is 2000+.

It should be between 0 and 5 and he said mine could be 1000 because the the results don't go above 2000 so don't show how high. It is better if you don't have it because causes a lot of other autoimmune diseases. Good luck when you need see the professor he is so good my legs are the main place I get the stiffness but do feel some improvement in the last week.
