Anyone in UK been offered Fampridine
My consultant has written ahead of us meeting in November to suggest me being prescribed new MS medication Fampridine. Has anyone else had it/been offered it?

I asked my MS nurse about this and I think I am going to be offered it in the new year.
Fampridine has been used in MS care for many years, it's only newly available on the NHS in England (it was already approved in NI, Scotland, and Wales.) I was on it for a while, but it interfered with my sleep so I stopped taking it. It did improve my walking speed though.
