Everybody, I had the baclofen Pump inserted in June 2013. Before the pump could be inserted I first had to do a trial at the hospital to determine if the pump was right for me. My neuro felt that the banding in my legs is caused by spasticity and not weakness. The reason I went with the pu

Everybody, Pat just reminded pointed out that I miss-spoke in my last post. Please excuse me, Baclophen is a muscle relaxant and anti-spasm med.  It is NOT an anti-seizure med.  One should never substitute one for the other without talking to one's doc! Dangerous effects could occur! Everybod

Baclofen reduces banding greatly for me. I remember Rob's posts when he made the decision to try the Baclofen pump, the operation, and the dosage changes. Rob, I wish it had continued to work for you without having other complications. Continue your group leadership. I know your group has bee

Dalton, I will be having my bone density test soon. I've had osteopenia since before TM and developed jaw bone problems after one of the early osteo drugs given to women years ago. I think that med was removed from the market and I have gently refused any of the new meds since. I'll have to m
