Baclofen helps for spasm, when I first started and I heard more of the group talking about it, you can have trouble with short memory, but that slowly improves. Nothing of that you can find back in the discription closed in. What also a caused spasm is a full bowl, notice after relieving that it is better. Full bladder makes it also worse. Keep the legs warm (blacket) if you sit stil all the time and afford draft. Nice in spring to let the wind through your house, but for people who does not move a lot, the muscles get cold and spasm will follow then, specially when the warm up again. Thats the reason when spasm comes after a while in bed or with cold legs crowl up to the partner. Wim

Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 21:47:03 -0400 Regarding Baclofin…..the physical therapist suggested that my husband ask his doctor for Baclofin due to the spasms in his legs. The spasms are effecting his progress in physical therapy. Can you give me the skinny on what are the side effects? He recommends 10 mg 3X per day.

I'm not sure weather it was the maximum dose of baclofin or the maximum dose of gabapentin that slowed the burning down but since i have maxed out both of them I have noticed that my feet and legs don't burn as bad as often. also maxing out the gabapentin has really helped with the spasms in my legs. not done away with them but sure has helped. --- On Tue, 3/29/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [TMIC] OT ?

Tracy, can you tell me a little about her? How old is she, how long has she had TM, what part of her did it hit, has there been any improvement? I was 60 when TM hit me and my daughter and husband were invaluable. What is your situation, can you spend time with her? How is her attitude? Sorry for all the questions, but it will help us to help you.
