Emily, Is the Metanx a prescription which is taken regularly to prevent spasms and banding, or just to take when syptoms occur? Right now I take valium but just when I have the spasms.
I have not heard of this but may ask my doctor about it. I have tried Baclofen but it didn't seem to prevent spasms with me.

I do agree, it has been very quiet here lately. I have been wondering how Dalton has been doing since he is back in the USA. Has anyone heard? And what about our dear friend and crazy West VA buddy John..where has he been lately? Maybe this is a good thing..everyone is without pain, spasms, banding, etc...so no one is talking..LOL OH...I did forget one thing..my husband is on a vitamin B complex with folic acid and it has helped with banding and spasms.it is a prescription only and it is called Metanx. Has anyone else ever heard of this? It doesn't work in all spinal cord injury patients but so far it is working with my husband.praise the Lord!!!

I signed up today because I visited with David and Judy Hoops , aka Hey Jude, today and we talked about how long it had been since we had been on the TMIC. I visited the archives to see what the current subjects are and who was participating and the subject that caught my attention was RE: facebook. How fitting. That was exactly what Dave and Judy and I talked about. They told me about TM on FaceBook and how confused they get by it and wondered if it had totaly replaced TMIC. I told Dave I would chek into it and let him know what I found out. It was good to see so many people post on that subject. There were names that I hadn't seen on TMIC for a long time. It sounds like a lot of people were lurking I the background. I remember the last post I read. Someone asked how Saronj from India was and she answered. Jude has been in hospital twice in the last three weeks. She sure is a trooper! She's in ICU now awaiting test results. I think I'll stay on TMIC for a while. Patti - Michigan TM for 8 years and wouldn't have known what to do without TMIC and the TM Forum. I'm glad there's plenty of info for new TMers, however, my brain couldn't have handled it all back then.
