I've been noticing that my legs will jerk periodically....especially at night but maybe I just notice it more then because I'm still.

I'm not thrilled to be taking the Baclofen but it does seem to be helping. The prescription says to take it 3 times a day but I usually just take it twice. I haven't needed it in the daytime hours but towards evening my legs start getting tense and I know if I don't take it I'l be sorry later.

I was taking Gabapentin when I was first dx with MS but it didn't really help with the spasticity sx and made me gain weight. I no longer take it.
I just came from my primary dr today and he has told me to drop one dose of the gabapentin which I really wanted to do because every since they put me on the highest dose they could give me I have been out of it. and it was making my tremors worst which I believe. He did acupuncture on my kidney channel today and I feel a little better.

He is also going to send me to another neuro at Jefferson Hospital which is a MS provider. So I am glad about that.
