It all depends on the weather. Weather I hurt or weather I don't. (But I usually do.) - Roger in Kennewick, WA

The first sign was that I knocked over a perfectly good, and totally full, cup of coffee all over the kitchen table, including on my meds. By the time I got to work my limb coordination was diminishing. But I got through the lecture—barely! Then informed my reassuring, but write-it-all-down-for-future-reference boss that I was heading home early. OK now, just sore and embarrassed. It is hard to be better than normal as worse than normal as both situations land me in trouble.

Baclofen does nothing. It took four glasses of red wine and two alergy pills to get me to sleep. Being in the chair now is making the banding pain worse. any suggestions?

You know,,like the sound that a power transformer makes except it's a feeling,a buzzing or even sometimes like energy going up and down your leg or legs. I gert this a lot and when it is real bad it is from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. sometimes it even feels like something poking at the bottom of my feet from the inside trying to get out. perhaps i could harness it and drive a car with it! I am taking the maximum dosage of baclofen and neurontin and was wondering if anyone ever ran across something to either slow this part down or even stop it. sometimes it will last all day and can go from irritating to depressing. most of the time when this does stop that's when the burning begins. this on top of the wast banding and pain can drive me to thinking thoughts that are not normal for me. thoughts like,,perhaps i should find some marijuana and smoke it or perhaps i should drink enough to pass out or maybe i should punch someone and they will knock me out! my Doc's know about it but have no answer. losing insurance on may 5th.
