Fampridine approved by FDA
On Jan. 22, 2010, the FDA approved Fampridine (dalfampridine) under the name of Ampyra. “Ampyra will be manufactured under licenses from Elan of Dublin, Ireland, and distributed by Acorda Therapeutics Inc. of Hawthorne, N.Y. AMPYRA Expected to be Available by Prescription in March 2010.”
DH has an appointment in February and is definitely going to talk to his neurologist about this.
Which brings me to another subject. The neurologist has moved. They sent us convoluted directions to the new office which made it sound as though it was a great deal further away. I spent hours–stupid dial up–trying to locate the office. Once I did locate it, I looked at it in a bird’s eye view and said, “duh!” It’s very simple to get there from here and I even know a great short cut.

I hope that this can help him. Fingers crossed that this spells the beginning of a good year.
I second that, he needs a break and hopefully this is it:)
I too hope that Fampridine will be available to him and will work well.
Good Luck to DH. It will be wonderful if this could work for him.
There’s good info here. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog. Keep up the good work mate!
