& Trish LDN/RLS & dropped foot

[Guest guest]

hi.

i take 10mgs of 4-AP (aminopyridione) x3's a day for spasms and weakness, especially in my legs.. i have not had a spasm since taking it (2 years) and i can tell when the next dose is due because i get the weakness everywhere. the doctor that calls in my LDN also calls in the 4-AP.Oct 3, 2010 05:57:19 AM, pmkerbel@... wrote:
