I did some reading...
I think it's the baclofen and valium that's making my legs weak. I havent had any baclofen or valium since about 7 or 8am (saturday morning) It's 3am sunday morning now, and my legs feel a little less weak. Not much, but a little.
I havent been taking the valium every day, so I think I can just drop that one. It's the baclofen that I want to back off on if I can. I just talked to a pharmacist and she told me that since I take 3 at night before I go to bed, that I should start out taking 2 1/2 for 3 days, and then 2 for 3 days. I want to see if I can back off to just one pill a day.
and then I'm asking for physical therapy to see if I can get back into shape and get my muscles strong again...maybe then I can actually use my membership to the gym instead of wasting that $30 a month.
I'm going to try taking 2 1/2 baclofen tonight. If I get woken up by a muscle spasm, I'm going to try to get up out of bed and stand and walk around on it till it lets up.
I'm hoping it's the baclofen causing the problem and not my spine.
