I have found no medication which helps with the infamousMS "hug" or "squeeze" which I really detest!(grump, gripe, moan)Love to you all,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Thu, May 5, 2011 9:40:37 AMSubject: Re: Re: klonopin or

Spasms are sometimes twitches but are often a tightness in the muscles. It's hard to describe. Maybe someone else here can describe it better? Sometimes they are like charley horses only way, way worse.I have been on heavy meds at times (neurontin, klonopin, baclofen) but for over a year I have been med free except for my high blood pressure med and thyroid med. I think the klonopin was the easiest med I have taken for the cramping/spasms. if I had to take sometime again for the spasms/tightness, cramping I would choose klonopin.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I looked these up, wow, not appealing. I have to suppose that one has to weight the issues the meds are suppose to alleviate against those it will initiate. I know they all have side effect warnings that may not occur, however, not a fan of meds here. I took Thorazine during both my pregnancies for extreme hyper-emisis (?) and have to say it changed my life and left me quite traumatized from the experiences. I won't go near any meds with "zine" in the name, nor will I give them to my pets which is often prescribed for them for anxiety. I found they are more upset at the lack of control they feel than if they just endured the stressor to begin with. bad stuff. could we hear from someone who's taken either of these? what

exactly is spasticity with regards to ms? I think of a muscle spasm, like an eye twitch and not a cramp...perhaps my issues relating to tendons binding are actually spasms and I'm not using the right terms...

Do you find it helps to take prednisone for the "hug"? SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

oh! this I actually experienced for about two weeks this fall with the pain issues...was weird! told my husband it was hard to take a breath not in the lungs or throat but around the torso...another "clue" like the painful skin on the back and ribs. was interesting at least. thanks for the various comments on seizure meds, ms as a villain doesn't make treatment easy does it?DeeTo: MSersLife Sent: Thu, May 5, 2011 11:42:55 AMSubject: Re: Re: klonopin or baclofen/comment

I found it helped nearly every ache and pain! unfortunately by the third week I was so broken out and it took about two months for it to stop. But yes, the prednisone vacation was lovely!To: MSersLife Sent: Thu, May 5, 2011 12:00:51 PMSubject: Re:
