Susie,

I am so sorry that you are in so much pain and to hear about your mom and daughter. First of all (I know how hard this is to do)but you need to take care of yourself in order to be able to take care of anyone else. Have you asked your mom's dr for some help as in home health care? I just got this started with my mother in law who lives with us and has Alzheimers. They will help you in every day care. Is your daughter old enough to go to the dr by herself? How old is she. Do you have a friend that could help with your mother? The spray gel is not in the US yet. It is only in Australia and Germany. There are a few people that have had this done in Germany (check the board?. Did your dr give you anything for the spasms? Would he or she? I wish I was nearby to help but the only thing I can to is let you know my experiences and see if that helps. I wish I was a dr and could help everyone in this group. Please let me know how you are doing and if you want to talk or cry or vent I am here. Again, I am so sorry to hear about your family and your pain. I hope I haved helped a little. My prayers are with you.

Lynn
