As a result of a Feb./09 accident, I have what I consider, pretty severe Spasticity and muscle spasms. The muscle spasms wake me up about every 1 to 3 hours during the night. The spasticity make it very difficult to move to go to the bathroom after I am awake.
The fact that I am unable to find a doctor or therapist that is willing to give me some kind of timeline for this problem is very frustrating. All of the prognosis for this problem have been frustrating since Mar. 05, 2009.
I would enjoy some conversation with anyone experiencing these problems. Or anyone with cinstructive input. THANKS

I am also suffering from spasms but they are occurring during the day usually while I am moving. I am taking an anti-inflammatory drug that seems to be working. Just remember there are a lot of other people out there with spasms and spasistity issues and do not give in to the pains. Keep fighting them !!!!

It is nice to hear from someone. Is anyone else out there afflicted with spasticity and spasms, compounded by tone?

I do, but it is symptoms of my diagnosis - Stiff Person Syndrome. I provide information about SPS in my profile and have a journal entry about the different forms of spasms and spasticity.

I wish both of you improvement with your situations.

Very well said. I draw a great deal of strength from the book of Jobe. And I look at others worse off than myself. Even tho is a natural response, no good can come when we wallow in self pity. Sure, our bodies are no longer Home Sweet Home, Adjust. It could be Much Worse.
