Guest guest Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi KathyI'm so sorry the Ampyra didn't work for you. I've never tried it but I've thought about it. Did your docs test your Vitamin D level? I've never had my level checked but my cousin did recently and his was low. It seems odd for people in Arizona to have low Vitamin D but it happens because it happened to my cousin. It's nice to be around family. I share a home with my son, his wife and their four kids. I take care of the kids when the parents are working. The kids are 8, 13, 15 and 16. I have four other grandkids that I see often. Good for you for being in the MS walks! I've never done that. I don't think we have one here in my small community.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I did try it, but unfortunately, it did nothing for me except make me have headaches and much annoying tingling in my legs. Later, I learned that it helps patients in early stages and not for secondary progressive. I've had MS for 10 years and have been on Avonex. I probably had symptoms for 7 years, but it was not diagnosed. I am taking more vitamin D, like 2200 IU. In my family we have 3 adult kids. Two work for Caterpillar and one works in Des Moines, IA. and wife have 2 sons, Caleb 7, and Connor, 5. and have Adam ,3, and , 4 mo. My youngest daughter, , and husband, , in Des Moines just learned that her baby due in Aug. is a girl . My two oldest live within a 20 drive so I do get to babysit and see them. I do have to reprimand the boys not to play with the brakes on my walker or treat it like a toy. The whole family walks in the MS Walk in Sept. , and I ride my scooter. I used to volunteer for it, but I really wanted to be with the family so now I scoot along. Well that's enough for today! I'll write more later.Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
