baclofen

I was diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia 10 years ago.One of two sisters already had SCA as has my aunt and one of three cousins. I have had baclofen as my cramping has got worse. I find it helps with relaxing my feet where I get most of the cramp and my Ataxia specialist has recommended it . I take 1 tablet a day about an hour before I go to bed and I find I have a decent nights sleep. all the best Dave
