SPS
STUDY
A
General
Study of
Stiff
Person
(Stiffman)
Syndrome
This
study
was
researched,
written,
and
compiled
in 2006
by my
husband,
John
Crawford.
The
study
has
been
medically-reviewed
with
interest.
John was
diagnosed
with SPS
in 2001.
The
study is
still
open.
This
past
year,
marriage
with
both of
us
having
SPS,
has been
filled
with
deep love,
tremendous
blessing,
and the
expected
onslaught
of
challenge.
God has
been
faithful
in
helping
us face
each
day,
hand in
hand.

"But
there is
suffering
in life,
and
there
are
defeats.
No one
can
avoid
them.
But it's
better
to lose
some of
the
battles
in the
struggles
for your
dreams
than to
be
defeated
without
ever
knowing
what
you're
fighting
for."
~Paulo
