ReplyDeleteI listened to the link, but NA to me since I am not MS, however, I checked for other info on Peerviewpress.com info and found this one on spasticity:

I do all the stuff they talk about. I take 40mg of baclofen per day and I am getting Botox #7 on 6/19/15 and will be tested for a baclofen pump next week. So my physiatrist is trying everything they talk about.
None of this really fixes anything, but it appears to be all the doctors have to offer besides referring me to OT & PT, which I do 2 to 4 hours a day. My experience is slow steady improvement since my stroke 2 years ago, Like you often say, the medical community really does not know how to fix hemiplegia and is very frustrating, since I have a long way to go to fully recover.
Keep up the good work & the pressure on!
