Saw my neuro today. He said I’m doing fantastic and called me boring 😂
I really am blessed to be doing so well. Ampyra has been my miracle drug and Rebif continues to work well.
I am going to try a sleeping pill. Bad sleep and increased fatigue were my only complaints today.
On a side note...my tomatoes are taller than I am!
Good news!
I got ONE tomato so far.Yours look great!
It’s been a weird year for gardens in Utah. Everything I have is struggling except tomatos, and it’s my best year ever.
That is the thing that I most want to do well. 
You look so happy in your photo, StacyHayward You will soon be over your head with tomatoes! Good thing for you?
Keep Smiling,
Carole 
Thanks! I am pretty happy. Life is good despite difficulties thrown my way.
A bumper crop, well done. Have you done any jig saws recently? Blessings Jimeka 🦋
Not recently. Too much yard work to do and finishing other projects.
Congrats! That’s awesome news. Love your tall tomatoes 🍅
Great news! I love it when doctors say I'm boring! I too have had only 1 grape tomato.
It's good that you're doing well - and "boring" is way better than "interesting" and it sure beats "challenging" by a million miles! However note that fatigue can be a side-effect of Rebif - it was one of my worst side-effects from it (the other really bad one was serious depression). Both my fatigue and depression improved dramatically within ten days of stopping Rebif. Starting sleeping tablets can lead you down a very slippery slope where you become very dependent on them, and you should really only take them for maybe 2 to 4 days at the most when you have absolutely no other choice.
What are you feeding those tomatoes - super-charged horse poo or ???
Boring 👍👍👍
That’s great news honey xxxxx 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
wish I was there,nothing better than home grown tomatoes
I have never seen tomato plants that tall! Wow!
I have trouble sleeping so I take one benedryl at night. I read a chapter or two and then I'm done and am only woken by my bladder or alarm!
So happy you're "boring" to the neuro!
That's great news StacyHayward Never seen tomatoes that tall before! Hope you get a lot of tomatoes (or maders as we call them for my dog lol) Hope you are able to get some sleep soon. Keep us updated on how things go.

Great news about your neuro visit.👍 It's great to be boring sometimes! I'm jealous of those tomato plants! I didn't even try this year with all the rain we had.
just wondering what kinds of differences did you notice with Ampyra
Huge walking difference. I was having significant trouble getting signals to my legs after sitting or standing for very long. When I’d try to walk, I had to hold on to something. Sometimes my left leg could barely respond. And I couldn’t immediately stand after sitting. I had to wait for my legs to get functioning or I’d collapse.
Everyone watching me walk thought I was in agony because it looked so awful. But there wasn’t pain. Legs just didn’t work.
After ampyra I am nearly back to a normal walking gait. I’d say about 95%. I occasionally have a bad day or moment but it’s usually tied to late nights or fatigue.
Walking better has directly help lessen fatigue too, since my legs don’t feel like 50 pounds anymore and I’m not working so hard to walk and not fall.
I honestly believe I’d be using a walker or wheelchair full time if I wasn’t taking ampyra. My legs were getting that bad.
I know it’s not this dramatic of a help for everyone. My neuro says for some it’s a home run and others a strike out. For me, gratefully, it’s been a grand slam!
really sounds great. thank you so much for your answer. its inspiring to hear
