Welcome Avengr, great to have you here.

Spasticity, the MS perk we all know and hate. 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.

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.

welcome to NT.

Hi, my name is Sue. I've been an MSer for a few years. Diagnosed in 92. Have been taking gabapentin for nerve pain since Sept. '12 but have gained much weight. Weaning myself off to see if I can lose the extra weight. Took Copaxone daily shots for about 5 years. Currently not taking anything for MS except Cymbalta for depression. Basically upbeat person who sees the best in folks and loves animals.
