We still don't know more than when I was in Abu Dhabi, just that the doctors' offices are fancier and the insurance is $1,227.00/month rather than free. They haven't even changed any of the medications or doses. If it was just TM then my question would be, what did I have from 9 January to 22

Rebecca, I take 20 mg a day of Baclofen. I take this three times a day. I started out with 10 mg and it was not till my doctor increased it to 20 that I saw any results. Hope this helps. Thanks, Ruben D. Towery Sent from my iPod On Jul 9, 2010, at 10:15 PM, Rebecca

Since we don't think that it's the nervous in our bad leg that's bad, it's the nervous in our spinal cord that's bad.  So, I believe that butting her own stem cells into her spinal cord at the place that the TM hit her spinal cord, would work better. I'm wishing her well, since this has already

GlacierRebecca, There is also the medication Zanaflex. It helps with spasms as well. I take the 40 mg of Baclofen a day then I take 4 mg of Zanaflex at bedtime too. There are others who do take more Zanaflex as well. However both the Zanaflex and the Baclofen can affect your liver enzymes so
