Stiff Man Syndrome Support Group
(UK, 1099206) Browse events
YTD Raised: £530.00Stiff Man Syndrome was the name assigned to the condition when first identified in the 1950s by Moersch and Woltman in the USA. In recent years, in the modern world of PC, the condition has also become known as Stiff Person Syndrome. SMS or SPS does not appear to differentiate between sex, colour, or creed, although UK evidence tends to suggest women are more likely to fall victim to SMS. SMS is a neurological condition believed to be of auto-immune origin. It is unique among neurological diagnoses due to its lack of significant similarity to any other neurological diseases. Although rare, once observed it is quite unforgettable. Because of its rarity, many neurologists and GPs are not aware of the condition. In most cases, the first symptoms are insidious and victims are often initially misdiagnosed with depression. The onset is most frequent between the third and fourth decades of life. Liz Blows, who set up the UK and Ireland Support Group in 1998, began presenting symptoms in 1990 but it wasn’t until three years later that it became clear something was seriously wrong and she set off in search of a diagnosis that eventually came in 1997. She began the support group with just five members to champion the cause of this little known and misunderstood disease. Today, there are more than 100 members in the group and she remains passionate about raising awareness in both the public and medical sectors.

Kids Like Us
(UK, 1075335) Browse events
YTD Raised: £500.00If you can imagine what the pain of arthritis is like, then imagine what that feels like if you are a child. It is not generally appreciated that arthritis is one the most common physically disabling diseases in children and adolescents. Arthritis affects 1 in 1000 children in the UK making it more common than than diseases like cystic fibrosis and just as common as childhood diabetes. In spite of this many people assume arthritis only affects 'older people' and are unaware children and young people can have it too, affecting critical times of growth in their lives. Arthritis can affect children of any age but it mostly begins during the pre-school and early school years. A father described how when his daughter was a baby he held her in his arms and lifted her legs over the arm of the chair to make her more comfortable. She cried out in pain. It was not until 12 months later that the little girl was diagnosed with arthritis. "Kids Like Us" is a charity which supports children and young people with arthritis and their families in the West Midlands. This involves supporting the work at Birmingham Children's Hospital. There are currently around 1200 children who suffer from arthritis in our area. The cause of the disease is not clear and as yet there is no cure so that is why "Kids Like Us" also support work that is looking for answers, as well as raising awareness of the disease in children. For information on what we do with the money raised and how we help the children please go to our website www.kidslikeus.info or contact Irene Bannister on [email protected]
