Hi Leslie I was reading your post where you answered the question about Cymbalta. I was just wondering if you also have fibromyalgia and what pain meds seem to help with your muscle spasms

I have been dx with both ms and fibro for about 9 years now I believe I have the ms under control but the fibro pain is killing me My neuro has tried numerious meds for what he believes is muscle spasms such as baclofen, flexeril, cymbalta, ultram, and neurontin Nothing seems to help Just wondering if you have found something to help

Thanks for your help

Take care

Have You Ever Heard Of Copaxone? It Is An Injectable Med For Ms. You Use It Once A Day. Check It Out On The Internet. They Send It To You And You Give Your Self Injections At Home.

Hi Tiff

Yes actually I was on copaxone for about 5 years Just recently switched to the once a month of Tysabri Unfortunately none of the ABC drugs seem to help with the pain though

Thanks though

Sue
