[Curt Leatherbee]

I signed up on their list. Things move slow.

[MeetMeInMontauk]

one of the requirements is "no current anti-spasticity medication regimen;"

how is that even possible? Who doesn't take meds for spasms?

[ineedmyelin]

[SoulScream]

[Dlevy]

I don't.

It would be counter productive and make no sense to trial a device that's attempting to electrically excite nerves if the patient is taking drugs or medications to deaden them.

I don't take anything but ditropan

I took baclofen for a decade. Decided one summer to taper off and quit it just to see. Spasms were way up during withdrawal but after a few weeks of being completely off it, my spasms were only a little worse than while taking the maximum dose of baclofen. Haven't taken any since.

I never took the "full" dose which was 3 tablets a day. I only ever took 1 before bed. Did that for about a year, year and a half. Havent taken any at all for about 2 1/2 3 years now. The worst of my spasms are my feet bouncing around when my wheels hit a bump and my legs lock out when i transfer into my car.

I'm about a year and a half out (C6 incomplete) and I don't take meds for that.
I know it sounds strange but i kind of like them and think they are good for circulation.
