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. -Keith- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!157!3!Keith.Jones Internet: Keith.Jones@f3.n157.z1.fidonet.org
