Walking has improved. No spasms in left leg lately. But after a month on ampyra my tongue started to hurt when eating spicy foods. Then my whole mouth was in pain. I could eat anything nor use listerine after brushing. Very painful.

When I take it as prescribed, I walk like a normal person, although I can't push it all day and wouldn't dare run. Only worry is that if I run out, I find myself having great difficulty walking - seems to be much more acute than before I started taking it. An effect of ampyra or a coincidence?

Experiencing very bad burning skin on my legs like a bad sunburn on my skin.
