Re: welcome thanks/brain-quiet to stop cramps

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the welcome, Gretchen.

The idea about the MDA clinic sounds interesting. I have had the other tests,

and they didn't show anything apparently. The neuro guy I saw said I had some

foot drop. Okay, what does that mean? I asked him. " It means that your toes drop

down a little when you lift your foot. " Well, congratulations, Sherlock. I knew

that !!

Ahhh, quinine? A friend at work gets quinine pills prescribed. Unfortunately for

me, any attempt at massage or movement only intensifies the pain tenfold. The

only way I can stop them is to make my brain very quiet until they stop. Then I

have to remain brain-quiet for 5-10 minutes longer so they don't start up again.

Thanks, I'm going to lurk and learn and check with an MDA doc.
