I hope you find something that works to ease your pain! Remember what our Mary said now: "better living through chemistry!" Manage those symptoms with some good drugs!

Need a brownie?
Brownies???

I am going to stay with the higher dose of klonopin for a few days and the heating pad off and on. I am also going to take my space heater to the shop. It's freezing in there and we don't have control of the temperature.

I am thinking that the increase in walking I am doing, the drop in temperature, and decreasing the klonopin (and maybe some additional work related stress) are beginning to catch up with me.

Spasticity is one of my symptoms that has been hard to manage. Does anyone ever really manage it? I can't take any of the usual meds and Sinemet does work but...who knows what else is going on!

Today I am also noticing my hands don't want to do what I want them to...
