[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

I am a C-5, C8-6 quad (5 years), and have had periodic bouts w/
muscle spasms that have prohibited me from doing what I can for
myself.  I've tried all the normal stuff--including 80 mg of valium
per day, which worked, but made me consciously comatose.  Try
Dantrium (effective as valium w/o the side effects) combined w/
Lioresal.  You can adjust the dose slightly w/ an effective result
when spasticity worsens.  Works for me, but not for all.
