Baclofen for cerebral palsy ? Posted: 03-29-08 13:54pm
Hi, my name is Savannah, and I have mild
C.P (walking un-aided but with notice,
having to use a laptop with my school
work, but still ledgible if I go slow) I
am 15 years old.
My sister is going to Med school ,and she
told me that one of her proffesors was
talking about a drug called Balcofen, and
said it had amazing results, I was
wondering if anybody had tried it?

My brother has severe cerebral palsey and
he has baclofen (a regular dosage baclofen
pack inside his back actually). It works
wonders. It's a muscle relaxer basically
and makes him go all soft and floppy cos
he gets really tense and in pain from it;
the baclofen softens his muscles and stops
the pain Unfortunately it's very very
sugary and so can be bad for your teeth,
but thats mostly cos my bro can't brush
his and we struggle to do it for him, so
he had a pack in his body that releases
automatic dosages when he needs relaxing.
Its very good.
