Hi Sally,

Don't know if it's a flare or not, I suppose it could be. I'm having severe spasticity and pain which has been building up gradually for several months. I started taking Baclofen for the first time a few weeks ago, and it takes the edge off of the pain.

I don't do well on steroids, or else I would consider them. I see the MS neuro later this month, and maybe he'll have suggestions. Maybe I should go off the Copaxone and try something else. I have been through the interferons, and they give me depression and anxiety that is difficult to control.

I don't know that I am brave enough to try Tysabri, but I plan on discussing that with the doctor, and other new treatments.

Thanks for the invitation to gripe.
