The other thing I do is to go get a really good 1 hour long Swedish massage every couple of months. That really helps, too.

I could never get past the "doped up" feeling with Baclofen. It just wasn't the drug for me at all (not many are!)
I get deep tissue massage once a week to help with the spasticity/tightness in my calves, thighs and feet. If I go more than 2 weeks without one, she can hardly touch my calf muscles they are that tender. She is a certified massage therapist and has worked with several MS patients. She's been working with me for 4 years now.
