Moving on...
Yesterday, I found out that the medication Ampyra which is used to help people to walk better when they have Multiple sclerosis and was given to me three months back in 2015 is more than likely the reason I have paresthesia.
In trials back in 2006-2008 it was found to be a side effect of the medication, and they excluded people with thyroid disease and high cholesterol and decided that they should not be in those trials. I have both.
As I said...I had been put on Ampyra for three months in 2015 by an MS specialist doctor in Sarasota Florida, and it was stopped due to my paresthesia. I received a phone call from the FDA but I felt, at the time, that it was helping most MS patients to walk better and that what had happened to me was an anomaly!
Until yesterday, while emailing back and forth with a nurse who had been in charge of that trial back in 2006-2008, and is currently with one of the organizations that are involved with MS on a daily basis. ( I was given her email to discuss another medical issue.)
In her report 40% of the people who did not have a result of walking better had paresthesia!
And that was found in the earlier trial that she conducted.
What do I do with this information?
I already spoke to my neurologist who denies that thyroid or high cholesterol were exclusionary factors from taking the medication...(Not the one who prescribed it)
I am strongly considering talking with the FDA again...
Just got off the phone with Tiara with the FDA.
A Medwatch form, to write down a negative symptom from medication, is being sent from the FDA, and no, hypothyroid and high cholesterol is not written anywhere they would be contraindicated for the medication! Only those people were excluded from the trials, as well as others. (as per the nurse yesterday.)
Nearly last... our sunrise!
...3 months and 4 years old
I am called Aussie because my mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl who had been looking at me in the crate I was in at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. Mom asked her age, but not her name...ha! And without hesitation, the teenager had said Aussie! By the way, she was just looking, so my mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and mom liked the name Aussie too. Since then, we have discovered that it is a ubiquitous name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon, even say unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd, a red Merl. And here is an interesting factoid about me was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now four years old, I am the baby, though I am the largest of the fur babies, and due to my breed and being standard, I am a bit too big, ha!
I was three months old when mommy and daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter.
Above is my PIC, taken on the birthday I share with my dad, but dad is much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, on February 16, 2018, on dad's brother's birthday.
I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, it had been said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18 on clear out the shelters day!
Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!
Hey, wait! Please don't forget me! I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am seven years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps late with Dad, till after seven most days, even later sometimes!
I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes that dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted on January 23, 2020.
I had been wandering the neighborhood for days, and then I saw Aussie and Bella in their living-room window, so I hung out there...
The animal control lady had been called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason is that if no one claimed me, "I want to give him a second chance!" So that is how I got the name Chance!
The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening.
Easy as Aussie, Bella, and Chance, now you got it! In order of adoption!
