Sharon, my neurologist has blood work done when I have spasms, and often my serium potassium chloride is low.He prescribes foods high in potassium: bananas, avocados, etc.and gives me an Rx dose of very low potassium chloride withinstructions NOT to take more--ever!Good luck with this!Love and hope,nSubject: bad spasmsTo: "Group" <mserslife >Date: Sunday, January 1, 2012, 6:19 PM

I haven't had spasms in a long time. Until this evening. I got up from the couch and a spasm hit my right leg. It "grabbed" me at the thigh just above my knee and then shot up to my upper thigh and down to my lower calf. It hung on for about 10 minutes. It is still painful and I feel I'm on the verge of another spasm any second. I'm sure most of you know that feeling!I haven't been on any medication for any MS symptoms for two years. I do still have Baclofen and Neurontin but I don't want to take either of those. If I have more spasms I think I will ask for some Valium. I used to take Klonopin for the spasms before going on baclofen. I prefer Klonopin or Valium over Baclofen but I don't

want to take anything that

will make me sleepy, you know? I'm sleepy and tired enough already.I stopped all MS meds because of my severe dry mouth. I just cannot go back!

Sharon, I am doing pretty well. Edna not so good. We had tocancel our day together; I will see her on the 5th or so. Also,some idiot rammed my car today--only metal damage--no injuries,but I have to deal with that, too. Edna is having severe memoryproblems; she is diabetic (non-compliant) and also has kidneydisease. I am very concerned about her. Her elder son has beena great help, and is doing all that he can--including getting her tothe doctor and to her pharmacy.Thank you for asking, Sharon.Love to you and to yours, and to all here with us,nSubject: bad spasmsTo: "Group" <mserslife >Date: Sunday,

I had/have with spasms. Eating foods like bananas, orange juice, etc did help some but exercise helped as well. As a matter of fact the spasms had gotten better by 50-75% or so but the are now getting worse since I slowed up on my workouts so now I need to get my butt started again...sigh*

So my lesson learned the hard way is to NOT stop exercise, balance sucks and feel like I have to start all over again. I've started back with my recumbent bike here at home until I can go back to my PT and use my free weights and machines. after I'm feeling more secure to start again.

We can do this right?

n, I'm so sorry about Edna and your car. I sure hope you manage to get together on the 5th or close to it. And if you have any suggestions about dealing with a non compliant diabetic, please share. I get so frustrated with .

It's almost like he's got a mindset that because he takes pills rather than insulin injections, it doesn't matter what he eats or drinks. It's frustrating ... hugs, Cait
