Many thanks for the quick reponses!

Yeah it really pains me to see my mother like this. All I can do is be there for her although her and my father are out of the country for a few months.

She has been taking LDN for about 6 months I would say.

I did read about Fampridine

kicker: are you saying that this is available in the US via prescription? Sorry a bit confused here!

She has been to a few specialists here in the UK but she hasnt been to a weekly therapist which I think I will suggest when she gets back.

A friend of mine had neck and shoulder problems which got worse over the last few years - he found a private chiropractor from the US based in the UK and she has pretty much cured his problems. He recommneded my mother went to this woman as she said she deals with people with MS. She basically makes sure the spine is aligned correctly. If it is not this causes unbalance and neck / shoulder problems like my friend had. She did go a few times to this woman a few months back and she did say my mothers was not aligned correctly. Thing is its quite expensive to go and my parents are not convinced this will help my mother as her walking is so impaired. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I can give the link to the website which explains her technique in more detail. My friend is adamant that if she kept going weekly we would see an improvement but I am not so sure.

Thanks again.
