Cold weather is the worst for starting up my spasticity and spasms, and I have to be far more vigilant about doing my stretching in the fall/winter. The colder it is, the more I tend to cripple up into a pretzel . . . which leads to spasms. Stretching has always helped considerably.

These spasms have been a ongoing problem. I have started trying to keep a journal of when it happens. I have physical and occupational therapy 3x a week per doctors request but my legs just seem like noodles when I am done with therapy.The spasms are horrible I tried soaking in tub even with dead sea salt as I have heard it was suppose to work. But still no help, the weather here is nice right now but suppose to change in the next few days. I am going to call doctor on Monday and see if possible to up my dose on Baclofen and see if possible a little more would help although I would rather not take medicine at all.I have always been the type I hated taken medicine I would only take it until I was feeling better. Although with this horrible monster I don't have that option or I wouldn't be able to function at all. I just would love any relief at this point. As far as other symptoms my eyes have always been a problem it was how I was diagnosed.Any reflective glare and they don't want to function not to mention the sometimes double vision and excruciating pain behind them. I all at the same time have to be able to function to work so I can't take to much of a sedating drug or I am out like a light. Hugs and thanks for the suggestions
