I had my six month appointment with my neuro today. He told me that the neurology department at the university hospital where I go is not going to prescribe fampridine. He said that insurance companies are denying coverage, and that the tests have not been impressive. He quoted a statistic that on the average it has only increased walking speed by one second in the 25 foot test. Is that correct?

So he prescribed an gradual increase in baclofen (from 40 mg to 60 mg) for my spasticity. He also ordered a vision field test as I have been having problems with my right eye ( sporadic pain, floaters and cobwebby feeling). And I have to have a MRI in May.

My three year anniversary of my dx is next month.
