Stiff Person Syndrome

I ran into this youtube video about this girl who was healthy, beautiful, and about to get married, but then became destroyed by a suspected autoimmune disorder.  Initially I thought this was a scam, but it turns out it's legit and on ABC news: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=8277314. Here is the ABC 20/20 article: Steadfast Fiance Provides Lifeline for Woman With Rare Mystery Illness
Can you imagine thinking you'll be living out your fairytale story, then your body starts to deteriorate to the point where you're paralyzed? I guess that happens with a lot of illnesses, but it's just sobering to remember that we're so human.
Here's the original youtube video: 3 Weeks to Live
