Ampyra is working...

Not a question.......

I have been taking Ampyra for roughly two weeks and I am walking a whole lot better. I haven't even needed my cane in five days or so. I am very excited about this to say the least (like a kid in a candy store....) I just thought I'd share. I hope you all have a great day.

It's so nice to get some good news!  I'm very happy for you!

I have wanted to try Ampyra too, but my doctor says I'm not a good candidate.  (CRPS, and seizures...)

I hope it continues to work for you.

I tried it, but it didn't really work for me - well not enough for me to keep taking it. Plus, I was afraid of having a seizure.  

It's awesome that it's helping you!

Great news Tom!
I am so glad it works so well for you. It was another bust for me but I am truly happy it is working so well for you!

So glad to hear this! More than half of those who try it get no help with walking, but when it works, it works. I have new prescription insurance so I don't know how many hoops I'll have to jump through, but I'll talk to my NP about this.
