Geeeze… I have been a mess for almost a month now with SO MANY SYMPTOMS GOING ON . lol… okay longer than that but all things RSD have been attacking me like crazy for several weeks now.

So my lower back is a problem and a discectomy at L5 S1 back in 2004brought the RSD on. I now have a couple more discs involved that are bulging.

Anywho, a week or so ago I went to see the doc about a massive back spasm that I couldn’t get under control and was out of the proper meds. I have spasms elsewhere too, like my legs, and I tremor like crazy without proper doses of gabapentin, and sometimes tremors even with meds depending on the circumstances. The doc and I discussed options and for whatever reason they seem to not want to give me what I already know works, which is Soma. I compromise and settle on Baclofen. I had heard many good things about this drug and thought ok. So it did help in some regard in that my back started to feel somewhat better, but I had the strangest experience on this drug and wondered if anyone else has too.

After I took it (Baclofen), I started to feel the way you feel just before anyone can see the tremors. It’s like a vibration or restless leg syndrome, BUT all over my body! Needless to say, I ditched that drug and I am back on Soma, praise God. I don’t need the Soma every day, but when I need it, be it for my legs, or my back, I really need it.

Thanks in advance for any responses. If I owed you a response before now on some other post / thread, I apologize, but goodness, the RSD has not been kind at all lately and times of even feeling well enough to respond have been few.
