On a good note I got my new street bike boots last week and I finally can get them on by myself. Now we need the weather to cooperate here.

I hope you have as good of a response to Baclofen as I have. Keep in mind that it will probably make you dopey and sleepy at first. I took it in small increments until I got used to it (about a week or so). My neuro had me start at 5mg three times a day and work up to 10 mg three times a day at first.

Over the last couple of years, we have increased it to a total of 80 mg per day and I haven't had any trouble upping the dose once I adjusted to the med initially.
