Fampridine (Fampyra)

I have recently trialled fampridine which is a new drug being trialled to help with walking. If you are given the option by your neurologist, I would definitely recommend trying it.

Really Fast Progression

Hi, I am newly diagnosed. I am struggling with how fast and how severe symptoms can appear. Especially when is comes to speech and mobility. I don't know what I'm looking for, but I think I'm just looking to see that I'm not alone with this.
