Default spastic without copaxone?
I have quite a bit of back spasms before all the MS meds I went on. I guess copaxone was doing something because my back is crazy angry! I have had really bad spams for the last two days and its enough to keep me grounded on the couch.

Anyone else get an increase in spasms after stopping your DMD?

OUCH on the couch!

I think you probably overdid it this past weekend, Dej. Use this opportunity to plant your hiney on the couch and let DH wait on you for a change!

New spasms/twitches in my hands, bicep, tricep, chest ect seem to go away a smidge when I do 1/2 a Copaxone maybe once a month. I'm on Ty. Told my Doc put me on a list if trials ever come out for 1/2 C shots on a Rebif schedule while on Ty. Wish I filled C script before I switched to Ty.

The new spasms I get bother me because it's most likely new lesions forming & shorting out.

Sucky back spasms call to me frequently...

I try to stretch as the NMSS page suggests...and try to loosen up during the day.

But if it doesn't work, I have to call and go on 'roids... at least they work.

Hope you feel better soon, dear

I am quite a bit better today, thank goodness. We had a huge storm system blow thru and the low pressure systems tend to punch me hard.

Muscle relaxers and rest were what helped too. I played a baby video game on the TV to keep me occupied. I simply cant stand normal TV most of the time. hundreds of channels and nothing on! I dont want to watch judge shows, or soap operas and while game shows are fun, i cant watch them all day...or can i?

Thanks for the hugs!

I had a lot of symptoms before the DMDs. Copaxone kept them down more than any other. I hope this will soon pass.
