He was a little disappointing in that he was more interested in talking about horses (I board horses) than talking about my symptoms. I had one of the jerks while in there, they seem to only occur when I'm sitting on the exam table. He asked if they disrupted my life and I said not really because they only happen when I'm laying down usually, and only if I'm really worn out or stressed.
Anyhow, I told him my biggest problem was fatigue.
I dont know if this is accurate or not, but I thought it should be shared. I just read this in the "Health" Section of Foxnews.com I have heard a lot of really good things about Provigil, although I've never used it. It was recommended to me many times though. Just some food for thought. Seems EVERYTHING comes with its own set of dangers attached.
A decent GP would be the place to start ..... provigil is actually indicated for treatment of CFS .......... Its an expensive drug at 10.00 a pill prescription.....lots of insurance companies dont wish to cover it for that reason...... but it is being widely used now - - it will most likely be rescheduled before long because it has more of the shortcomings that straight amphetamines have than was thought during trials........
YES, it definitely will help you! I've known MS patients who are taking Provigil and they say it's a miracle drug--this doesn't mean it'll work fabulously for everyone, but it does do an amazing job of zapping excessive daytime sleepiness.
I'm taking Provigil for excessive daytime sleepiness as a result of sleep apnea, and the first few months I was on Provigil I've never felt more awake in my entire life.
My experience with Nuvigil:
I got the free week's supply coupon from Cephalon. When I got it filled, my pharmacist asked me why I was trying it when I'd had great results from Provigil. I told him that I'd heard it would cost less, at least until Provigil's patent expired. He checked for me, and said that it wasn't that much less; around $10 a pill instead of $12.
I said that every little bit helped!
Hey, Doc~
I'm sure you understand that it isn't just any tick that will produce Lyme disease after having bitten someone. You know that they are deer ticks that have been infected, and hence carry the disease. I'm sorry about the cat. My goodness! But there's no way to tell if the tick that latched onto kitty infected the cat with Lyme or something else. (Not saying it can't have been Lyme!)
I found a site that says Lyme was first documented in Australia in 1980.
