It didn't do anything for my spasticity either but instead of drawing my legs up, they extend straight out and I can't bend them.

There is, of course, no medication that works for everyone. Do you have any other questions? ## Has anyone that used the walker/wheelchair used the drug? What were your results? ## I was working with Physical Therapy to advance from a wheelchair to a walker already and then added Ampyra to the mix.

As far as side effects, I did notice insomnia for the ...

My fiance has Multiple Sclerosis and has been inyecting herself with Betaseron for over a year now, I would like to know if it's possible for her to use birth control pills and if there are any counterindications when combined with the previous drug. Also, besides the obvious barrier methods and of course abstinence, is there any other birth control methods available to us as a couple? I did noticed this condition is suffered mainly by women, so I was surprised when I was not able to quickly find any info on the subject with a quick google search. ## There are no medical professionals on this site and no one, even a doctor, who does not know all the details of her condition or her medication usage could recommend anything. I suggest she speak to her doctor to find out what the best ...
