One month on Ampyra

 

     DH has been on Ampyra a little over a month now and there is a definite improvement in his walking.  The other day he even said he felt he walked better.  Thing is I noticed the improvement before he did, but then I watch him. 

     It’s been quite a spell since he’s forgotten to grab his cane upon leaving the house.  He forgot it two days ago when he went over to his mother’s house for lunch.  Yep, I’d say there’s been a good deal of improvement.  The upturn in his walking does pose a few problems like him pushing himself too hard and over doing it.

     I’m not saying he hasn’t had a couple of bad days because with hot days nothing helps.  However, it’s been a long time since he worked on his truck and he did just that yesterday. 

     He’s been lucky not to have any side effects so far, and if he has had any, he hasn’t mentioned them to me.

  1. That’s fantastic news! I’m so pleased for you both 🙂

  2. I even said I saw a definite improvement in him since I saw you two last. I think it’s great that Ampyra is doing so well for him. I worked with several women who had MS a number of years ago. Back then there was NO hope for improvement.

  3. glad to hear it

  4. Delighted to hear that there has been some improvement. Did you hear that JK Rowling has helped fund a new unit in Edinburgh which is dedicated to research into MS?

    Great, she certainly has the money to do some good.

  5. Hey MW – So glad to hear this great news about your DH! Wow, I am elated!
    I wanted to let you both know that I retired August 27th from KU! I am now among the retired folks! Please let him know that.
    Thanks and hope to talk to you soon,
    Sandy

    Congrats on your retirement! I’ll let him know. BTW our phone number hasn’t changed in 37 years…

  6. Good news for both of you, Kiddo!

  7. Terrific – helps and seems to not have side effects. I am so happy for both of you.

  8. Thank you all so much for your good wishes.
