Hey all,
Barb, my neuro ran some of the trials for it...thinks it's a very good drug for symptom management...and 10 mg 2x/day is all that is needed...trials showed that increased dosage didn't improve walking ability any more than the 10 mg. He's really excited, since it is the first drug exclusively approved to treat a symptom of MS...all the others...baclofen, zanaflex, etc., are approved for other diseases, but used off-label for MS.
My DH is counting down the years until he can retire...packages to leave have been offered to his level off and on in the past, but they felt he was "too valuable" to receive one...told him that's what you get for being so smart
Pam hope you're better soon...

Burned bill receipts from '03 and '04 in the fireplace tonight...I keep them for 5 years.
DH is at a meeting tonight, so I get to watch the State of the Union by myself. Was invited to a watch party, but decided to stay home...

Our Camry hybrid isn't on the list...at least I don't think so. I have noticed a revving of the engine occasionally in my Lexus hybrid suv...it scares the bejeesis out of me...but it only lasts a few seconds. I've mentioned it to the repair shop at Lexus...they look at me like I'm crazy. We'll see...

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday evening!
