Looked up Ampyra, also never heard of this.

Isn't if strange how we are prescribed things that the experts "don't know how it works" is part of the descriptive information... I read that even about copaxone and it's not that new. so strange. surely they have an idea of how something works in order to manufacture it~ sounds like one of bill engval's "here's your sign" situations.

Jup. There is a lot of legal stuff that affects that. It's the same with the side effects sheets. Every symptom or condition that anyone has had (or has been reported to have) while taking a medication must be included as a potential side effect in the documentation. Even if it's not at all common. And also, even if it's something you can be darn sure is *not* caused by the medication. For instance, many MS-meds have MS listed as a potential side effect, that is not because someone have been taking MS-medication without having MS, and then got MS as a result, but it is because a number of people have had MS while taking MS-meds (which is not at all that surprising, huh...). In short, the reason lists of potential side effects of a medication (of any medication) looks so scary is a lot more legal than medical, so to speak. love/Reb> >> >> > Looked up Ampyra, also never heard of this.
