Hi folks-- I'd like to hear from some of you about the following. I have been diagnosed about 2 years with pls. I began noticing the symptoms about 10-12 years ago-- in my legs and feet. They were contracting or spasming and were annoying-- my feet, when I started walking after any period of rest were painful until I'd walked for a while. The spasms in my legs (mostly left) continued for years and increased in severity. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis but that turned out to be wrong. Various other diagnosis were tried until finally PLS. I take about 70 mg of Baclofen over the course of a day and it has really helped the spasms but now my legs get tired easily and if I foregt the Baclofen, the spasm are REALLY uncomfortable. BUT-- I don't have the severity of some of the symptoms I read in some of your posts.. If PLS is progressive, is it slower in some than others. Is it possible to have a "slight" case of PLS?-- I doubt it. Any thoughts--Larryz
