New pills are being tested and these are pills being tested for MS.  I knew about the recently FDA-approved Ampyra and rushed right in to my neuro doc in hopes to get a script. I came way with 'instructions' for 1) a blood test to see what type of MS I have, 2) a recent MRI and 3) get a second opinion from Pill Hill. It was then I heard about these other two pills for MS. I found a statement when I searched the web for Ampyra that is was the first therapy that is taken orally. Now there are two more pills, fingolimod and cladribine! That's way good news... Well, my enthusiasm waned when I found out the insurance coverage.  We couldn't come close making the co-pay required plus I wouldn't be happy about going to Pill Hill for a second opinion.  It took everything out of me going to see my neurologist and Pill Hill wouldn't be any better.  Then there's the MRI.  I just cannot do all of that.  It maybe selfish on my part but nothing can change my disabilities.  I can live with what I got for as long as I need to.  My mom did it; so can I.
