You express your thoughts on paper, as only I wish I could. I try to read what I can on MS to see if I can find anyone who may have documented a seizure experience, the seizure has the ability to push the body, and then lift up the body and throw it down on the floor. It has happened to me twice, and the last time it resulted in a broken elbow. No leisions have been found on the MRI. I have other MS symptoms, but without leisions the doctors pretty much say MS is not the problem, and they tell me the seizures I said I had, were an impossibility. They were 8 years apart, so I guess in 6 more years I will see if I have another one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156297735114151405.post-51816712567150651712010-07-05T13:43:43.613-04:002010-07-05T13:43:43.613-04:00Hi, Dave,

But the urgent necessity to quit has been exacerbated by a recently diagnosed precancerous oral lesion.<br /><br />I have an appt. with a smoking cessation specialist on July 13th. My research has revealed that a combination of treatments has a much higher success rate. I'll likely next try a combo of Chantix, hypnotherapy and a nicotine patch.<br /><br />Sorry to hear that your Ampyra therapy had a less than stellar debut. I hope that its performance will improve as time goes on and you will feel an improvement in your walking.<br /><br />Keep us posted, Dave. Hope all is well.<br /><br />KimKim Dolcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354063912770718696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156297735114151405.post-11995866561101937232010-07-05T13:29:41.754-04:002010-07-05T13:29:41.754-04:00Good morning Kim,

I hate it when I run out and no more is expected for days (I mail order out of Florida, 100 each month).<br /><br />Maybe it is our lot that to be happy we need to have the joy that smoking tobacco brings us...<br /><br />Daveswampsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465192771252767000noreply@blogger.com
