    @garrisonredd I look forward to self-driving cars in the future. I think it will be a game changer for a lot of people with spinal cord injuries. I just hope they are safe and won't malfunction on us haha.

    I personally enjoy driving but at times I can be to tired to have the energy. Its different when you can't split up the task and your arms do everything. Self driving vans would definitely be a game changer.

    @Sterlion I can see how actually driving can be nice. I have very intense body spasms and am currently in the  process of driving. I do worry about having a big spasm while I am driving, but I don't want to never drive because of them. Driving will give me some much more independence. I would feel a lot more comfortable in a self driving car. I am excited to see what happens in the future.

    @Zcollie do you know what causes your spams? I know if I move a certain way it can cause me to have spasms so I avoid that when driving.

    @Sterlion Throughout the day my body just gets stiff and going over bumps will set them off. Sometimes they will just happen. I am going to try and start weaning myself off Baclofen because I feel like it does not do anything anymore. I heard from someone that it increased their spasms. I want to start taking CBD everyday and see if I notice a difference. Some days are not as bad as others. I do notice that the cold makes my body even more tight and stiff. I have been dealing with crazy body spasms since my accident happened 9 years ago. Sometimes I can control them and other times I cant..

    @Zcollie Do you stretch in the morning? That helps my spams a lot. Also working out helps my body stay loose to where spams don’t intrude my life. I haven’t ever had to take anything for them cause those things have kept them in control enough.

    @Sterlion I do need to start stretching in the morning. I have heard from multiple people before who do that and they all say it helps. I do feel better after working out. it definitely helps my spasms, but around 2 hours later my body is tight again. I will try stretching in the morning, thanks.
