Sorry if the Terry comment scared you . . . it was just meant to be a visual of where I ended up. Of course, I did get past it too, and that had been getting progressively worse for several years (with no sign of potential for improvement throughout that period). LDN is Low Dose Naltrexone. It's a drug that was brought out more then 30 yrs ago for drug and alcohol addiction . . . but at a very low dose, has been anecdotally successful with MS and our symptoms as well. Last I heard it couldn't be taken with any other CRAB except Copaxone though, but they were recently doing trials with the interferons and I haven't heard yet how it faired as far as safety, etc. Cherie

I have never had this happen with my hand. However, in one of my flares it happened to my foot. It took a bit but I was finally able to straighten it out. I have only had that happen 1 other time and that was a good year ago or so.
Spasticity is a beautiful thing isn't it? LOL. It can do some funny things to our limbs. I do find that soaking in an Epsom salt bath before bed helps me during the night. Good luck and let us know what becomes of you newly designed hand courtesy of MS. LOL |
