Re: New here Toni

[Guest guest]

Welcome Toni, Sorry you are having such problems. The

only thing that relieved my muscle spasms was

naprozen. A good massage, gentle effleurage helped

also. Just got through a sleep study and foudn I had

sleep apnea. Never would have dreamed that was a

problem except I had difficulty sleeping staying

asleep. That is why my muscles don't heal. I am

finally finding some relief. Blessings to you. Star
