My spasticity is increasing very rapidly. The neuro tried Baclofen and Tizanidine, but they both put me to sleep--and I mean that I was falling asleep while driving, VERY alarming. They didn't even seem to do much to help, either, at least not at the dosages I was willing to take.
But the doc said a Baclofen pump into my spine wouldn't send the meds into my brain as much as pills and therefore less sleep-inducing. Here's my question: what is it like? does it stick out, is it external or internal? what are the benefits/problems? I don't know whether I should do it or not, so I'd be glad to hear from others about their experiences. Please help, thanks!
