Well, it's been three weeks now and Jim has titrated up to three pills, 25mgs each, a day of Dantrolene. His legs no longer cross over each other and have a mind of their own. It's not a cure all, he still has stiffness, but it's working better than Baclofen and Tizanidine. He will see his neuro on Monday and I suspect we'll start weening off the Baclofen and Tizanidine. He's also using medical mj to help with the stiffness and this may be the perfect cocktail for him. If they legalize medical mj in Illinois, he will try to ween off Dantrolene, but until then we stay on it.

He also has a blood test to check his liver enzymes Monday. If all is OK, he gets to stay on Dantrolene. If his liver enzymes are elevated, he can't take it. Fingers crossed the enzymes are not elevated!
