You have multiple sclerosis to be taking Fampyra, so your symptoms may represent a flare vs a new lesion. You need to discuss this with your PMR doc or neurologist to determine if further work up is needed at this time, or if a round of steroids, AEDs, or other treatment is warranted. Good luck

Would recommend contacting your neurologist, and informing about the changes. Sounds like a lesion in the cervical spine which needs evaluation and treatment. If you have MS, this would be consistent with a relapse and should be handled ASAP.
