My husband's spasms are so bad now that I suggested Botox to him. I'm an OT in a rehab center and have worked with this amazing Physiatrist (rehab doc) for over 25 years. She does a lot of Botox with brain trauma patients to reduce spasticity and gain range of motion. She examined Curt and said she thought him to be a good candidate. She won't be doing it, however as she does primarily larger muscles. So, she referred us to a Doctor in a neighboring town that she knows and respects. What will it do? Who knows. Hopefully quiet the spasms down for a while anyway. Again (like acupuncture and many other treatments) no guarantees. But, nothing gained if we don't try. He's pretty miserable. I think I frustrate his ENT and oncologists as we continue to try alternatives to their treatments. I just can't settle for less if we haven't tried what's available.
Do you have a surgery date? we'll sure be with you in thought and prayer and be anxious to know the outcome!
Continually searching (and working with a grateful and cooperative recipient)
