I went to see the MS guy a week ago or so who said he had no idea what was wrong with me. My symptoms are hugely nervewracking and upsetting -- mostly after a couple of hours awake I shake like a wet dog and when I lie down to sleep I have muscle "tracers"--every time I move there are these muscular tracers in the roused body part, as if the muscles are irritated and trying to calm down from being upset.
So the MS doctor offered me Klonopin and I took one and felt relief. I also felt like falling asleep instantly, but i felt relief Then I wondered what would happen if I took more than one .5 mg klonopin. DOUBLE relief. Insomnia gone. Fine tremor gone.
So now I am up to four of these a day. This is *not* what these are supposed to be used for. I am supposed to take ONE of them for sleep, but to have my body appearing to operate the way it used to is just too tempting, even though I can barely keep my eyes open and moving around is really more like trudging around since my limbs feel so heavy it's like they're going to fall right out of their sockets. On top of this, I just took a valium since I read I'll then have something like three day coverage on the shakes, twitches and zaps.
I would much rather have a cure for what is wrong with me but I'm now so desperate I'm considering staying tranked for a couple months, sleeping twenty hours a day and seeing if I wake up feeling better on the other end.
This is the ONLY strategy i've found that helps. Any others, please let me know.
