My neuro. mentioned that my MRI was a near perfect example of Dawson's fingers. Never really went on to elaborate.

At one time I took 90mgs of Baclofen, Amy. and Lyrica all at once. Tends to make you a little sleepy. I now only take the Amy. because when I don't I get severe muscle tension headaches.

Amytriptiline, low dose, really helps my headaches.

From the time I was a teenager, I'm 46 now I've suffered from headaches that were diagnosed as sinus problems. Turns out, they were caused by my MS (spasiicity) I currently take Baclofen which helps except times of increased stress where they still come back.

I also take a small dose of Amytriptiline along with Lyrica. Together they seem to work for my neuropathic pain. This isn't always the case because there are days when nothing seems to work.

Back in 2004 when I was first dx the same thing happened to me. Sometimes I would look at someone and half of their face would disappear. It seemed to happen only to faces and it seemed to past fairly quickly but it was very strange and thankfully it has not returned.

I've had severe muscle tension headaches since I was a teenager, I'm now 46. For years they were dx as sinus headaches and I was treated accordingly. I finally went to a specialist who dx the problem. I was already on a high dose of Bacloren and I was also taking Lyrica. I did some research and aske...

I never drank a diet soda in my life till two years after being dx.

I also have spells where I wake up alot at night. I finally figured out that it was from my muscles spasming while I was asleep. My MS nurse also came to the same conclusion and asked if my wife had ever seen me do this. I told her that for years before my MS diagnosis, my wife and I would freak out...

I take Lyrica, 75mg twice a day. Cold weather makes mine much worse so I'm glad it's finally warm. I live in Nebraska and it's been a long winter.

My wife and I were watching a program about medical mysteries the other night. The show centered on a group of people, most of them teenagers, who came down with a life threatening illness that was difficult to diagnose. Eventually they were diagnosed with Salmonella infection from eating tained ice...

Ally,
I'm on the same meds you are, minus the Avonex, so if you feel the need please feel free to pm me.

I've been off Lyrica for about a month and the neuro. pain in my skin has definitely increased. I say my skin because wherever it comes in close contact with something like a chair, bed or tight clothes my skin feels like it is full of needles or tiny cuts. It sometimes did this even when I was on L...

Maybe he could look into getting a Baclofen pump. The pump works by shooting a dose of Baclofen directly into the spine. It uses a much smaller dose of Baclofen so the side effects are less.
Terry

As a guy, I'm probably out of my league here but I have taken both of those meds. I'm still on Baclofen but I now take Lyrica instead of Gaba. When I first started the Lyrica it lowered my blood platelets to a borderline level. This eventually corrected itself. I've not had this happen with the othe...
