Walking With Ms

Updated

I have been living with ms sense 1991. I've had my up and downs through the years. I've had plenty of falls. Broke my left ankle, then almost a year to the exact date later I broke my right foot. My walking has gotten progressively worse and if tried many kinds of treatment both injections and pills. The latest being ampyra. Nothing seems to work. I also have arthritis in my spine and swollen ankles from high blood pressure so my mobility is very limited. The medications I see advertised for ms seem to be for remitting ms. Not progressive ms which I have now. I'm at a lose of what to ask my doctor I should try now or should I give up and let it take its natural course.
