This is the preferred way to disable a muscle that wants constantly to pull, a manifestation of spasticity. It works for most people; not me. There are some downsides: expense (Medicare covered me for 80%, but the 20%'s add up.), need to repeat every three months or so, discomfort [It is NOT a recreational drug!], and a slight possibility of an allergic reaction. The big upsides: selective to the individual muscles injected. And if you stop the repeats, you are completely restored except for the memories. Google it. Alton, who wishes it had worked for him
