For spasms, cramps, spasticity and a host of other issues, Baclofen is our weapon of choice.\u00a0 To borrow a descriptive phrase, Baclofen is the “frenemy” of people with muscular atrophy.\u00a0 That is, taking the meds reduces the spasticity, but increases the rate of atrophy.<\/p>\n
What I have begun doing is instead of taking two pills three times a day, I am evenly spacing out those six pills where I’m taking one every four hours.\u00a0 I’ve been doing this for four days now and the effect is evident.\u00a0 I am experiencing spasms of less intensity while increasing my functional time.<\/p>\n
The game I play is like balancing on the head of a pin.\u00a0 You don’t just lean to the left or the right.\u00a0 You fall off to the left or the right.\u00a0 Finding the equilibrium point is an immense challenge.\u00a0 I’m hoping that these new choices that I’m making is putting me in a better place.<\/p>\n
Four days into it and it seems to be having a positive effect.<\/p>\n
In Christ,<\/p>\n
