Sandy, I've heard botox works wonders. My friend, Darah, is thinking about getting that done for her spasticity because it's pretty bad. Mine isn't as bad as Jim's is, but man, I feel for him! Hope he gets as good results from the 2d tx as he did from the 1st tx. My legs have been bad enough that the only semi-comfortable sleeping position is the fetal position.

Brain, my back will tighten up like yours does. Part of the problem is that my upper back/trap/neck area are prone to spasms because of having had whiplash a few times. Love the "heads turn" line. I'll have to remember that!

I hear you with the rib constriction. I've been having to take off my bra because it HURTS my ribs and my back. But it's not an all-around feeling--it's between the ribs and in certain back muscles.

Yeah, I know about the RLS thing. Interesting way to describe that. It's not the RLS, that I know. I'm taking ropinirole (generic Requip) for that and it helps. Got to ask the neuro about the klonipin with the ropinirole as both help with RLS. Yet another thing on my to-do list.

I've had a headache now for 2 days from this. Around my head, not in the head. <sigh> Only one more day to wait until the doc's office opens up. I'll be on the phone first thing.

Think I'll go kill some pain with Ghiardelli chocolate brownies. It won't make the pain go away, but it will certainly make my mind go elsewhere. Too bad my football team has a bye week this week.
