Is anyone taking it, and if so, how well does it work?

I didn't take "Ampyra" per se' but tried AMino PYRAdine and went into shock. I've heard some good things about it helping with walking. Aminopyradine did that as well although it just wasn't right for me. Good luck with whatever you decide. Hope you let us know if it is a good match for you.

The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
