It's about
a young girl whose health went downhill fast. They showed a picture of her and she had bells palsey!! They are calling it a "mystery disease" and can't figure out what's wrong with her. Her joints have tightened up and she walks with a walker. It's playing now!!! Looks like Lyme Disease!!

Not again,
Me either. It remind me of that girl that had Lyme Disease on Mystery Diagnosis(I think). She had stiff joints too. She couldn't straighten her arm out.

Stiff Persons Disease is a known but rare autoimmune condition.

So I guess it was attacking her joints. That's so sad and I bet painful.

I wonder why she had the drooping on one side?

usually drooping on 1 side is indicative of a stroke, or can be bells palsy. it does bring one to question if its lyme disease.

It's funny that they would consider such a rare autoimmune disorder, but they probably didn't even consider LD, or if they did test her and it came back negative they just said No it can't be LD. So sad, I wish we could follow up on her case.

I know. I felt so terribly bad for her. I hope they find something to help her soon so she can finally get married.
