 Posted: 04/12/05 - 02:00 Post subject: What is Ryder’s syndrome? |
  |
|
Hi, I would like to know what exactly is Ryder’s syndrome. Recently one of my close friends got diagnosed with it, I have tried finding some info on it both in the local library and on the internet but there’s no info about it. What are the symptoms and what is the prognosis and the outcome of the disease? Is it life threatening?

The reason why you could find very few information about this disorder is because it is very rare, it is estimated that there are only few people in the world that have it. It’s symptoms are: arthritis, urethritis (inflammation of the urinal tube) and conjunctivitis. The origin and the causes of the syndrome are unknown since it is so rare any research in finding out what causes it are difficult. It seems to affect men at young age, between 20 to 30 years of age. There is no special treatment for it, broad spectrum antibiotics are used to treat urethritis the outcome and the prognosis for the disease is generally good but the disease cannot be cured – it has lots of remissions during the course of life. For further information about Ryder’s syndrome you should consult your physician.

| I have been diagnosed with Ryder's Syndrome in March of 2005. It seems to affect connective tissue the way arthritis affects joints. It hurts like nuts and sometimes goes away. I was given increasing doses of MTX (chemo) to attempt a "remission" of the disorder but to no avail. It is a condition contingent upon a certain genetic strain (I forget what it is...HB207 I think). I understand that this genetic strain makes one susceptible to Ryder's because it allows a virus of any kind in the body to fester within joints and/or connective tissue. So I have been told. |

Hi! I was also told that this genetic factor makes it more likely for a person to develops Reiter’s but it is actually bacteria that causes it.
I was found to have contracted Chlamydia (sexual contact) but other bacteria that are acquired through the digestive tract could be the cause. They are salmonella, shigella, yersinia, and campylobacter and can be contracted by eating meat that were not placed in the right temperature.
However, not all people develop the syndrome who come in contact with these bacteria. I guess, this is where the genetic factor comes in.
What symptoms are you suffering from?
I had problems with urogenital tract the most. I had/have problems urinating, the urge’s frequent, it burns and sometimes I even develop fever.
I also have spondylitis.
Are you saying that you’re having strong arthritis pain? I am not in so much pain but am hoping for clearance of my symptoms.
I heard that some people develop chronic arthritis. |

Probably 90 percent of this article applies to me, and this has been by far one of the most valuable resources that I have found. Check it out.

I am not going to waste your time trying to tell you what it is or what it does. Here is a link for Reiter's syndrome.

Hope it helps.
Also medicinal cannabis is suppose to ease the pain of the disease. Support HR2087.
This bill would reschedule marijuana under federal law so those states that wish to legalize the medical use of marijuana under state law could do so without federal interference.
