Default If Stretching & Muscle Movement reduces Spasms,
Why? How?

I say circulation & if so, what meds increase flow & rate for a test?

Stretching and exercise make my spasms worse. I drink alot of water and still the spasms wont go away.

Sloooooooow stretches help me. yoga, quigong Tai Chi and so forth. Gentle slow purposeful movements. Flat out exercise makes me go spastic which is not what I want. This way I get core training without the bulk and spasms.

But do any of you think circulation is a culprit?
Of course brain/nerve damage is a major reason, but circulation has to play a role.

Blood. Oxygen is the test that I've tried.
My spasms wake me more when I fall asleep w/o putting ox concentrator on.
Smoking is bad for MS they say..why? Just reverse effects if thats true no?
