Thanks. I have tried all of the muscle relaxants available so that is why they are looking down the route of botox as nothing else has worked. I have been on lots of muscle relaxants for the dystonia and myoclonius and none have really helped and they made me really drowsey. I will look into some muscle relaxants though to see if theres any more available to try but I dont really think there is from what my dr told us.

Thanks again.

For example. I am on Tetrazepam, I react to it well, it does what it's supposed to and it relaxes my muscles. I once tried Baclofen. What happened? Not much. I didn't respond well to it at all. So maybe it's key to find the muscle relaxant that works for you. Different meds can have a different effect on different people. But I'd try the muscle relaxants first. That's what I'd do... I'd not skip that step and go straight for Botox.

Hope you'll get some great news to share next week about school.

It's really sad about your friend, but hey... thank God for the net, right! And maybe she'll come back for vacations with family.
