My dad just passed on Thanksgiving from Lou Gehrig’s. His entire body became stiff and he could not speak or swallow in the last phase.

RIP for your father, Lou Gehrig's disease is a terrible diagnosis, God bless you.

stiff person syndrome is a very difficult disease.

not as fast as ALS but debilitating

Thank you. Once my dad was diagnosed he passed within a couple years. I’m wondering if this is actually what Celine Dion has, or is this a separate syndrome?
