Welcome Avengr, great to have you here.:)

Spasticity, the MS perk we all know and hate.:mad: There are some
meds out there to help, but nothing is going to make it go away
completely. Mine is medium to mild, so I use stretching exercises
and that helps to relax them a bit, so I can sleep.

I've used Lioricel/baclofin (SP), in the past, with little success,
but it has helped others, so you may want to try it.

Hello
 

Hi, I'm Raeleen - 43
dx 03/98 RRMS
From the PNW :)

Hi all the new folks.

Raeleen - when I saw PNW my first thought was peripheral neuropathy. I'm guessing you mean pacific northwest?

avengr13 - seizures? Me too. 1993-1994, about 5 years into this MS adventure. I'm very thankful they went away.

bettycas - where in Miami? I worked all over that town.

Tom

for me only meds and laying in bed eventually works for spasticity.
then massage, heat and muscle relaxants.
