I'd like to make a shout out to the Journal of CLINICAL NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE. I am accelerating my learning by diving into your material. I know my post primary education exams spoke highly of me in many disciplines of knowledge, but I wasn't expecting the bootstrap myself into medical investigations.
My next shot out was to this photo someone shared on FaceBook:

My point being, I'll take one of these "bull heads" to the foot (anything but the heel please!) over a muscle spasm. I've had the displeasure of striking these a few times squarely on the heel. My more severe muscle spasms have felt this way.
Back when I lived on Grandview Hill in Provo Utah, I walked behind a few homes in the alley aka old railbed of Independence Avenue. I remember walking headstrong into a patch. You know that voice in your head, you just got to suck it up for a sticker or two and move on? Well yeah, I had that voice. I plowed right into this field barefoot. I was about six or seven steps in until I maxed out my pain tolerance.
While in Morgan Hill, CA I had a pain "seizure". I am still researching what can cause this. Can we put Science to the test?
Stiff Person Syndrome is a bust on GAD antibody grounds.
SPS however may require looking at stiff limb syndrome. A different antibody may be at work. I'm looking into Amphiphysin now.
