3 years ago a general neurologist thought my spasms in right leg were due to RLS and prescribed Requip that worked well but just for a few weeks so I discontinued. 2 years ago I saw an MS specialist who said it was NOt RLS because it was only one leg. He was not interested in talking about what it might be. He also said I did not have MS and to just go work with a physical therapist on my wobbly walk The new MS specialist I saw in July said I do have SPMS. He prescribed Tizanidine HCl that helps some with the spasms but really helps me sleep through the night for the first time in years. I now have dreams because of this medication. When I took 2mg I had crazy sci-fi dreams but have normal dreams with 1mg.

Anybody have any comments or suggestions?
