Thanks!

Hi Heatherg23,
Sorry you are having a flare! Can't you call your doctor and discuss this with whomever is on call? Perhaps they could call you in a scrip for Baclofen or something else? It depends much on if these are cramps, spasms or tremors on what may or may not work. I get spasms/tremors throughout my body and for this I take Baclofen 3-4 times a day as needed which is primarily used for seizures, it works well for me but, if they are muscle cramps something else could be going on as well. Like for instance low potassium (which can be deadly) can cause severe muscle cramps.. so my advice would be to put a call in to your doctor or whomever is on call.
