I've stopped taking anything for my MS. Including the baclofen. I'm now using exercise, physical therapy, and beating up the Mii characters in my Wii, as a way to deal with spasticity. (I really enjoy beating on the Mii characters in the sword fighting game)

Now the only medications that I take are the occasional migraine pill and some Tylenol or ibuprofen.

I'm still wobbly walking a bit, but not as bad as I had been. I had a really good day friday. Went to PT, and when I walked in, I was carrying my cane, twirling it like a baton, and did great on most of my exercises. Today I'll be dragging myself in there, but at least friday I was able to walk nearly normally.

My neuro kind of ruined any faith I had in any of the MS meds when he told me once that he didnt think any of the injectibles worked. That was just before I quit stabbing myself with the C. (I pretty much quit it that night) At least he told me the truth about his personal opinion of the stabby drugs. (he's a very old neuro and is a bit old school. Doesnt order MRI's every time there's a change. He can figure out where my problems are coming from by my telling him what's not working right)
