Sharing good news
 

I always come here for support and turn to all of you when I am having a tough time. Thought I'd share my good news this time! My MRI showed no new activity. Yeah!! Plus I am now taking Provigil and it seems to be helping. Thanks for all your support recently, I really appreciated it. :grouphug:

that's very good news. i hope you con't to do well and feel better.

Hi karousel,
That is wonderful news. :hug:

I hope the Provigil (Modafinil) works wonders for you. It doesn't cure the fatigue it just keeps you awake. That is what it is supposed to do. I used it when I worked, so I could drive back and forth to work and not fall asleep at the wheel.

Just some info:
I took 200 mg in the morning and another 100 mg at about 2 pm. That is a total of 300 mg. They said that some take 400 mg but it doesn't do any more for a person than the 300 mg does in clinical trials.

It may be too much for you. Play it by trial and error. I had to stop it on the weekends so it would be effective during the week. So if it loses potency, try to do without on the weekends.

They give it to the solders to keep them awake during the boring, long watch times, so they don't fall asleep on their duty hours.

There is a new one out now, Nuvigil (Armodafinil) it has a slightly different mechanism of action. Both are a wakefulness-promoting agent for oral administration. Not a stimulant.

Great news! I am glad to see some good news coming your way this week!:hug::Heart:

congratulations! way to go! :D

Great news!

That is wonderful news!! I am very, very happy for you...thanks for sharing the good news...we always feel uplifted by this type!!:)

Lady - thanks for all the suggestions. Right now I take on 100 in the morning and sometimes a second 100 in the afternoon. When I know I am not going to be doing much, especially not driving, I don't take any.

I love to hear this....Congrats..:hug:
