Wow I'm glad to hear about this. My Dr. (Stefoski) is one of the guys who invented that drug!!! I just saw him last week. Here's the article that was in our paper that told about the journey to developing that drug. I can't say enough about him. I have heard that it has some remarkable effects and being in a pill form rather than an injectable is WONDERFUL!!! http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-03-28/health/ct-met-ms-mobility-0329-20100324_1_ms-patients-copy-machine-long-journey

I saw improvement after 2 days (unless it’s just wishful) I can walk faster (with walker, of course), and can lift my good leg higher. my neuro says it will take 2 weeks to kick in fully. BERNARD BUTCHER Long Island From: T Kanon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 6:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TMIC] meds Hello Everyone, I went to see my neuro today and he suggested I take AMPYRA He said it helps with balance and walking speed. Has anyone taken it or heard of it? Also has anyone taken altitude medication for trips to very high places? How did you do on them? Thanks again as always Tobe Brooklyn NY
