Gerry, are you not allowed enough baclofen to control the spasms? I use that too, and it took a while to get the right amount to work, but I really like it. Of course, I realize we are all different and can tolerate only so much. I would talk to your doc and see what can be done with the baclofen. I also would HATE your weather. My body does not tolerate heat, especially with not having fans going in the rooms I am in. So, we keep the temp low, and have ceiling fans in every room. Hope you get improvement. I had to bug my doc several times for amount changes in meds to get as comfortable as I am. Hope you can too - let me know. Janice

I take gabapentin ; for nerve pain xanaflex for spasticity and baclofen the combination helps ne survive without the zanaflex i have trouble putting one foot ahead of the other, it feels like i am pulling a 30 lb. ball with every step. I too walk with a cane and use the walls for balance but outside i use a walker with a seat as I have to sit down after a few steps due to spasms. but i keep perserving as they say no pain no gain Gerry in plus 105 degrees with the humidex in montreal
