I was dx in 2006. Since then, betaserone for two years, then Tysabri (on my 88th infusion), plus everyday I take: Nuvigil, Baclofen, Lexapro,Cymbalta, Ampyra, vitamin D-3 (5000 units).
I did have water PT and daily excerises (free) for the first 5 years, but the co-pay for the PT was $35 per visit and it was costing me $70 a week. That might be ok, if there was some improvement or some benefit. But I have progressed from a cane, to a scooter all the time except at home when I either wall walk (with my cane) or crawl.
My neuro and wife want me to go back to PT again, but I see no reason to because it will suck what little energy I have away and suck $150 a week from our finances. I can barely lift my left foot/leg and cannot lift the other at all.
My thinking is that if I can't lift the legs, what go will PT do?
I just don't see the point. Can someone explain it to me?
Thanks!
