[Katreetree]

Hello I am new here! I was dx in 2017 and have been on Gilyena and a few other things for some minor symptoms. Recently seem to have developed spasticity, and a variety of increased other fun things so I was poking around online trying to find forums!

Congrats on finding what I think is an amazing group. I only joined six months ago, but I'm so happy to be here! Sorry to hear your spasticity is getting worse; I'm with you there. It's not fun to basically wake up and have a new symptom when you didn't have it yesterday. What happened there? Why? What does it mean? 🤔 I don't have the answer, but as a group there are always people who have been through it and are willing to help you deal with it! 😊

If you ask your Dr about medication to help your spasticity, they'll help you.Was given my clinically definite diagnosis of RRMS in Nov 2016. I remember getting started on baclofen a few years ago when I mentioned at my annual neurology appt that my legs were spasming so much at night that they'd keep me awake. He prescribed me 10mg baclofen twice a day at first, but when I mentioned to him I often needed to take one during the afternoons and another after I had gone to bed, he changed the instructions as such. I am sleeping so much better now.

I also think this is a great group of people! My neurologist says "more of" symptoms you have had is different from new symptoms. Will you see your neurologist about the new spasticity?

[Scout4x4]

I would let my Dr know and see if any lesions have affected that area of your brain. If not it is a meditation related issue. Welcome to the group!!!

At the risk of sounding repetitive.. I totally agree with the group and feel that a lot of people on this forum have had experience with all sorts of things and often many good suggestions. I’ve had MS since 2001 and I am learning new stuff about it often on this site- welcome!

Welcome!! I just found this forum last month when I was diagnosed. Looked at a few, but this is the most welcoming and positive group of people I have found! Hope you enjoy it here too! Sorry to hear you are developing spasticity! I have a touch in my left leg and don't like it one bit!🧡
