I started Avonex last week Friday. I started with 1/4. The very next day I felt amazing, better than I felt in years. Even my brain fog was better. However as the week went by I noticed that my fatigue started to return and increasing got worse. I figured it was because the medication was leaving my system. Friday I took my second dose. (1/2 dose) I didn't get the same boost in energy that I had the first week. I am more tired than I was last week.
Several scientists recently wrote in the journal Nature that healthy people should have the right to boost their brains with pills like Provigil. One author of that commentary, brain scientist Martha Farah of the University of Pennsylvania, said the new study "goes to show that we need a little caution and a little humility when we're messing around with our brain chemistry.
s been an issue with me for more than 10 years, but the last 2 months I was really bad and just being awake for more than 5 hours wore me out. He prescribed Provigil and I've read some of the threads on it and it sounds very promising. My question is, is it something you can take daily indefinitely? Or are you supposed to just take it when you need it (which would be daily for me!) I hope my insurance will cover it because I'm not diagnosed with ms or anything.

Hello, I am wondering if anybody has a suggestion of medications that work to help with memory problems associated with SCT that will not cause more memory problems or possible brain damage with long term use?
It was very difficult to be able to concentrate on my work or do anything requiring the use of my brain. I was seriously thinking about stopping the tx because of this even though I know the consequences.
My Dr. recently prescribed Provigil for me. Knowing my history, and my usual positive attitude even during the hell of the tx, he thought that would be better for me that an anti-depressant.
The Provigil has made a huge change in my energy level and the way that I feel.
Hi there.
I'm sorry to hear what happened. Unfortunately, there can be events in the medical field that are really unexpected and have little explanation, and what happened to your father maybe no exception. Off hand, I can think of causes like an embolism (blood clot that lodges in the blood supply of the brain) or a transient arrhythmia (problem with the electrical conduction of the heart). However, these would have shown up in the scans and EKG respectively.
Hi....I think u mean damage to the brain...not brain damage unless it is untreated.
There is a condition called syringomyelia and it can be caused from a trauma or even whiplash, another condition that can be there since birth, but triggered during or after a trauma is chiari malformation.

The first goal is to get rid of the virus, especially in those whom it has advanced beyond early stages, or seems to be causing significant physical or cognitive problems.
