Hi Guys,
Has anyone on the list gotten approval for Ampyra (formally 4AP or FRAMPRIDINE ) through their insurer? My insurer (CVS Caremark) has denied my doctors appeal for the drug by stating it only has FDA approval for MS patients. I previously trialed with the drug in 2003 with great success. My spasticity was lowered, I gained movement in my thumbs and strength to my abdominal muscles. There was also a lowering of pain in my shoulders and back. I intend to appeal the denial on a humanitarian basis and it would help if I could find another insurer who has approved the drug. Thanks. Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. Billy
