MS Drug Fampridine Sends Acorda Stock Way Up

I was on the 2nd Phase 3 trial of Fampridine. I have secondary progressive MS, and my main symptoms are lack of balance and muscle weakness. After a year of taking Fampridine, I can testify to how well it works: I can walk much more easily, I'm much more mobile, my muscle strength has improved 100%. I could go on--but suffice it to say, without Fampridine, I quickly revert to my former state of muscle weakness and no balance. This drug is MAJOR. True, it is not a cure, but it really helps with many MS symptoms.
