<p>And you&#8217;re going to inject it into my muscles?  And it&#8217;s going to ease my spasticity?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s crazy!</p>
<p>Crazy, but it&#8217;s true.  It&#8217;s Botox Therapy, or BT.  And I am living, breathing (needs a TicTac) proof!</p>
<p>I just completed my third treatment (each treatment lasts about 3 months) and I can&#8217;t wait for my Botox to kick in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The therapy&#8217;s benefits are not usually noticed for a few days..up to a couple of weeks after the treatment.  But it does help to ease muscle tightness.</p>
<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve tried numerous muscle relaxers in pill form and I still take one on a daily basis.  My biggest complaint is the &#8220;dosey-dopey&#8221; state many of those pills put me in.</p>
<p>(What?&#8230;He&#8217;s not <em>naturally </em>that &#8220;dosey-dopey?&#8221;)</p>
<p>Excuse me, you don&#8217;t graduate from college with a stellar 2.3 gpa being &#8220;dosey-dopey!&#8221;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was given several Botox injections in my inner thighs &amp; calves (my problem areas).  And the whole procedure was done in about an hour.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_14672.JPG"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-153" title="IMG_1467" src="http://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_14672-150x150.jpg" alt="IMG_1467" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

<p>As a matter off fact, a hidden camera  captured this picture during my actual session.</p>

<p>Multiple Sclerosis affects everyone differently.  So whether your spasticity is in your legs, arms, neck or wherever, Botox Therapy may offer you some relief.</p>
<p>And check out the difference&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
