Another ER visit in my future
 

Thinking of going back to the ER .
My spasticity had gotten so bad, I've never been this bad before.
Now its my complete leg and now into my back.
I can barely lift my leg to walk.

Have to go into work tonight.. don't how i'm going to do that.

My last flare I was given 5days IV steroids, what do they usually do for another flare?

Do you think I will get steroids again?
This flare is not going away.
My hands have also turned blue all the way up to my wrists and i'm not cold.

Miss Haley's Mom - I am sorry that you are having such problems again and so soon. I don't know what the will do.

Remind me- what are you on for spasms/muscle relaxants?

ANN

I'm on Baclofen , its not working..

Did they increase the dose? I know, it is hard to deal w the drowsiness if you have to work.

I'm going to go back and re-read your last situation. Sorry I have no answers.

Ahh, I see it was just 20 mg a day. That is often not enough. I'm used to a starting dose being 10mg three times a day. It does take a little while to start working.

I hope you get some help. No need to suffer.

the blue hands have be concerned. if that doesn't resolve i would consider the er. best the drs see you at your worst for documentation & to help dx.

MHM, Let us know how you are doing.:hug:

Thanks Sally,

I'm calling my DR. to see what she wants me to do.. the spasms are unreal... really have trouble lifting my leg.. I can walk but it takes a lot of effort.

My hands are blue on and off.. it's funny they're not cold or anything.. just blue up to my wrists.. then it goes away

I also have to work 4-10 on Friday, its a sales job in cosmetics.. a fair amount of walking... I need my cane all the time now.

sorry to hear this mhm, hope u can get the relief u need. i am on 80mg baclofen/day and its still not enough for my legs being cramped like crazy...
