Hi Debbie,

Yes I am on quite a bit of medication, something I'd like to be rid of in the future. I am currently weaning myself off of the gabapentin as I don't think it helps a single bit with the pain. I've also tried Lyrica, but to no avail. The opioid and the cymbalta/trazodone combination work the best for pain caused by nerves and by the aftermath of spasms. The rest of the meds are necessary for pain and depression. I've been on all of the anti-spasmodics; Zanaflex seems to work the best. I'll have to ask my doctor tomorrow about the capsules.

I'm doing in-home physical therapy right now, but it doesn't include any stretching! I don't understand this, the exercises are all centered around building strength back for coordianation and balance (which makes sense), however my P. therapist keeps telling me to ask my neuro about any yoga instructors that are experienced with folks that have MS.
