Baclofen and Carbamazepine combo not working... Gods the meds we have tried over the past 25 months, wow. At least this neurologist has stuck with me, ONLY doctor that hasn't dropped me after 3 months or at knowing my diagnosis... Going to also check into long-term pool therapy, that water contact i can handle. Gets now to the point i don't even change my shirts often or remove jackets both for pain from contact and the needed warmth.

gave up on my tens units totally now, can't handle the various modes still. and they don't do squat for spasms in the places i can handle. my heat packs, i have to boil then wrap before i use, the weight gets to be unbearable.

Fun thing, we automatically reach for and try to protect our injured areas, i am getting to the point a lot where i can't even handle the lightest touches there. Sometimes i can, most times i can't. Is this also normal?
