I know exactly how you feel. you MUST get out, even if just for your sanity, and the minute you do, you are all cramped up, and dragging a leg or so exhausted that you might get sick to your stomach. Sitting in the car and watching others do your errands brings on a profound feeling of loss of independance. I always felt like the family dog. I was so excited to go for the ride, and then got left behind while everyone else went in the stores. Dont tell the DH but I used to cry.

I am getting adjusted to the MS lifestyle. I am learning my limits. I am learning if one med doesnt work, I ask for another. Have you tried Zanaflex? I found it was MUCH more effective for me during those bad times, and the baclofen is great for better days. Massages, muscle rub or icy hot type products also help me. I have learned to budget my energy. I dont take my walks on days that I am grocery shopping. I also plan on bathing, and being in my PJs early that day.

I have started to find my rhythm, I hope you do too.
