Guide To The Causes And Treatments For Isaac's Syndrome

Isaacs' syndrome is a rarely-occurring neuromuscular disorder caused by continual firing and overexcitability of the peripheral nerve axons necessary to activate muscle fibers. The symptoms continue even when an individual is asleep or under general anesthesia. Typical symptoms include progressive muscle stiffness, twitching and contracting muscles, an increase in sweating, cramping, and delayed relaxation in the muscles. It's also common for individuals to experience muscle pain and weakened reflexes. The typical onset occurs between the ages of fifteen and sixty years old, though most cases develop symptoms before the patient is forty years old.
