Last night was a very difficult night (Physically). My leg stopped working, bathroom issues, became way too cold and was unable to get warm. I think I had a fever and my body was shaking and would not stop! I did deep breathing to help calm myself and took a diazapam (5mg) and Ibuprophens. I did not sleep much and could barely sit up to take my medications. My wife was very helpful and I called in sick at 6:00. I'm not intending to complain only saying what I experienced last night.

Sorry you had such a rough night last night. I hope you get some rest today and start feeling better.

Last night was not as bad as two nights ago but I did have very similar bathroom and leg issues. I wonder if it has been a response to the Ampyra med?

Do not take more than 2 Ampyra tablets in a 24-hour period. Do not use a tablet that has been broken or crushed. A broken tablet can release too much of the drug at one time. This can increase your risk of having a seizure. Stop taking Ampyra and call your doctor at once if you a seizure, pain or burning when you urinate, problems with your balance, numbness or tingly feeling, or a relapse of your MS symptoms.

Does any of this sound like your experiences? If so, may need to have a chat with the doc.

Hello Karilann. Thank you. Yes, no more than 2 in 24. I did not exceed that amount and I don't think one was broken but not sure. I will make sure on all the rest. Good advice. I know it's extended release and not to cruch or break. Pain in my spine bigtime, no burning but have had problems with balance and numbness and tingling the whole time and I was having an exacerbation and still am. Thank you for all the info and ideas on this.
