Hi everyone --

ISSUE #1 ­ BACLOFEN:
Iım wondering if anyone is taking Baclofen (either in pill form or via the
pump) for spasticity or spasms?   Is it working for ya or not (especially
the pump)?   Has anyone had problems (especially with the pump)?

I started taking the pill form in November and it seems to be helping some.
My doc just increase the dose (and I feel just a wee bit woozy ­ I know
itıll take a while to get adjusted to the higher level).   He also suggested
that I might be a candidate for the pump.

ISSUE #2 ­ SCOOTER:
My ortho doc also written a script for a scooter (YEA)!!    The one Iıve
chosen is the Rascal 325 (altho I may change my mind and go with the Rascal
305 due to the cost).   Does anyone have any current experience (good or
bad) with this scooter?   I just heard that Rascal use to be pretty bad back
in the late 1980ıs ­ early 1990ıs.   Any input would be helpful before I
actually make the call tomorrow.

Thanks!!   
Cherie from Iowa
