Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 Hi Everyone, A while back I posted the following question: > Hi Everyone, > > If any of you have been dxd with spasticity or if you have a lot of muscle spasms with your chiari experience---please let me know. If you take medication for it ---how has that gone for you? > > Meribeth in MI > chiari 1, surgery 9/99 better now but annoyingly stiff > (stiffs started before surgery FYI) > > I received 6 replies from people treated for spasticity and several requests for the info to be posted to the group. I will keep a running tab on this so please keep sending me info. If you will also tell me about your preop symptoms---I think that would be interesting and helpful. I will periodically summarize the data without names like below. In a nutshell 3 people taking baclofen which helps but sounded like all still had some spasms 1 person with flexeril which works well with almost no side effects 1 person took numerous muscle relaxers with no help, zanaflex caused dizziness 1 person with severe spasicity that looks like cerebral palsy at times-sometimes it has been called dystonic posturing ( gets so spastic the joint and muscles lock into a position) this person has benefited from Klonopin a seizure medication & Eldeperyl (a older parkinson's medication) (not at the same time), but has not had relief from baclofen, flexeril, or zanaflex.
