Heya

Debby: I found that my jerking calmed down after stopping taking LYrica - my pain management dr figured that that was why my jerking had got so bad. Have you tried things like Carbamazapeine? also though I haven't had it some people I know have had a phenidol (think thats the wrong thing -its some toxic sea animal blood or something) pump inserted and have had really good success with that. Is there a way you can take the anti spasmodics an hour or so before you get up? cos alot of them take a tonne of time to work.

Lisa: I get similar problems - the muscles between my thumbs and hands are now flat - the spasms pull my thumbs backwards over my hands and have dislocated them - even with botox the tops of my thumbs still point backwards - it is very bizzare and painful!!!

Love

Rosie xxx
