Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi I have had severe muscle spasms for years. I was on Flexeril for years, but was recently switched to Baclofen as the spasms and cramps were much worse. This is helping. I have also had shortness of breath for years which is mainly if I'm moving around or more in the evening. I have had a lift chair for a few years. My insurance paid for it with a script from the doctor, but not all insurances do. The biggest problem is that when in with the chair reclined and the power goes out, I am trapped in the chair. Otherwise, I think fit is important. It needs to feel comfortable both in the reclining and upright position. My mother had one even longer and now my dad uses it. I don't remember the brand of ours, but I can find out. I'm sure I have the directions in my file. Let me know if you want the brand name. laurie > It's been a while as husband has been in a holding pattern the > pastyear or so but, we seem to be moving into another phase I need > somehelp with. > > He's having severe back muscle spasms and shortness of breath. > Iwill get him to a doctor eventually but I'm wondering if anyone > hasInformation on the muscle pain. > > Other than that, weakness of legs is getting bad.
