But doesn't recurrent TM usually categorize someone as having MS or
Devic's? I have lesions on my spine that caused the TM...but those
lesions are there more than likely because of my MS...if I get new
lesions (already have 2 on the spine..C6-7 and T10), then it is MS
related in my case.
Spasms can be nasty, but surgery is usually last resort (to clip
tendons)....has botox been tried?

usual run of the mill spasms. I have them and they are totally
debilitating, and for me require huge doses of an anticonvulsant.

couldn't be left alone. My heart goes out to her and I hope that she
gets the needed funds, and finds relief./
