[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

   I recently found something that helps my spasticity. I lay in the sun
for a couple hours until I am too hot (careful not to overheat). I then
take an ice cold shower. My legs and back go from being terribly rigid
to flacid in no time. This usually lasts for several hours. Anyone else
ever experienced anything similar. If you've never tried it, I would
highly recommend it. Just be careful not too overheat. One more thing
--the heat will increase the spasticity but the reward of the cold
shower and no spasticity makes it all worthwhile.
