consider acupuncture too! sounds weird - i mean w/everything we're dealing w/who needs additional "needling" LOL. it mainly helps me w/muscle spasticity. that and nerve pain are my big challenges. i used to take baclofen orally for the spasticity but got off it slowly and switched to magnesium oxide. i also do massage therapy every two weeks and exercise to combat the pain. i've made a huge effort to decrease or eliminate my meds as much as possible since i really need to stay awake at work! and it is funny what the new norm has become for me - i guess our minds are amazing things!
