Also,
Anyone ever been put on "Provigal"?
It's an EVIL medication, if you have RSD, but, they're promoting it as a "smart" drug.
College kids, lawyers, etc. are using it. To me, it's just legal speed. Expensive too!
I use "Aricept", and other "Altzheimer's" meds that my doctor sample me with.
They're excellent, and no side effects.
If I forget to take it, I'm stupid all day. (This goes as treatment for the TBI).
these are just thoughts......

Pete,
Just wondering why you refer to provigil as EVIL for RSD patients. Jeff has taken it in the past for his fatigue due to sleep apnea which he had before RSD. It didn't work for him so he quit it. I take it occasionally when I'm on night shift and have to stay awake the next day for something. It doesn't make me jittery or feel like I'm speeding like the old over the counter stay awake pills. Just lets me stay awake and not feel like a zombie. Jeff has extreme fatigue but not any problems with short term memory loss yet. (Thank goodness, because I have trouble with that myself somedays and I dont have a medical condition.)
