THERE IS NO SCI – ONLY SCR IN MY MIND…

Spinal Cord Injury… or Spinal Cord Recovery…

you choose!

I am slowly reducing my baclofen (its one of two main drugs i take) this drug stops/reduces the nerves “talking” the reason for taking it, is to make my daily living more comfortable.. there are pathways (old and some new) through my spine – passing the point of injury…

i have already seen and felt improvements throughout my body – this wont just be from reducing the dosage of baclofen… i am doing a lot more, with Standing Start and Stephen Barwise plus i’m integrating the FES bike back into my routine. today i had physio from 10am til 12noon then i rode 29 miles on the FES bike.. 16 with my legs then 13 with my arms, so all of it together i am improving a lot faster. I can feel an “energy” through my legs (this is what the drug suppresses) this “energy” i can’t really describe.. it’s not something that i had felt prior to my injury.. some of it is like a harsh sun burn (thats where gabapentin comes in – thats the next drug to be looked at).
