Hi Ron, I wrote an article about spasticity--causes, and how to deal with and control it--in my column Para/Medic for New Mobility magazine. Here is the link to the article: http://www.newmobility.com/articleView.cfm?id=11960&srch=spasticity
Hope it offers ideas and or insite that helps.

My spasm are gradually getting more frequent and more intense. They now wake me up 5 or 6 times a night. They seem to be centered in my mid section and then make my legs jump when they kick in. Generally, only when I’m laying down. Anyone know how to deal with this? Don’t take baclofen. Thanks! Paul San Diego, CA
