Merely Me !!!
thanks for the message :-) it's very nice to meet you too.
i'm very rarely on the PLM board, so i hope ypu see this here.
i most definitely take Provigil !! it's become my Miracle Med :-)
i first took it about 5 years ago, at the beginning of my MS. it was SUPER expensive, and i didn't really need it after awhile. i took it for about 3 months at the beginning.
my main nemisis with MS has been Optic Neuritis. i eventually lost all sight in my left eye. i also became Steroid Depentant, because of all the mega-doses of steroids i had to take for about 2.5 years. the ON kept coming back everytime i'd go down to about 20mg of Prednisone. what a pain in the ass that was!!
i was on Copaxone for about 2.5 years too. i stopped taking it because i'm stupid!
i was doing very well until about May of 2008, when i started to get all kinds of Relapses. first it was Vertigo, then it was Fatigue, then again Vertigo and again Fatigue, etc.
i got back on Provigil, but at the time it was super expensive (still). somehow i managed to scrape up enough money to get it for October, November & December, 2008. i would take only 1/2 pill, or 50mg... because i couldn't afford more than that.
but now, our government has included it in the *Medicine Basket* of medications that are highly subsidized by the government. instead of paying $110 per month, i now pay about $18 !!! :-)
i'm now taking 100mg every morning and loving it. it really works for me. i'm not in a Relapse or anything, but i know that Provigil is making my life a whole lot more *clear*.... i can focus better, i don't tire so easily and in general, i feel a whole lot better.
the whole MS story is a hard one to adjust to. i would suggest to you that you just take it one day at a time, and not let the whole big picture overwhelm you... because if you think about the *Whole Thing*, you'll just go crazy.
please e-mail me if you want, at adriana.derry@yahoo.com , or just leave me a message here on the blog. like i said, i'm very rarely at PLM anymore... i'm just too busy doing so many fun things :-)
i wish you all the best, and a wonderful day!!!

i'm no Neurologist.....
but even i can see how much the MS has progressed in that last few years !! YIKES !!
i started out, almost 6 years ago, with only 4 super tiny lesions on my brain. now i have 80+ that *i* can see. God only knows how many my neuro will be able to see, and how many there actually are there, visual and hidden.
know i know why 2008 was such a difficult MS year. those bouts that i kept having were not for nothing. lots of strange things were happening on the nerves inside my brain. the myelin sheath covering the nerves in my brain were being attacked day after day, for weeks on end... when i had the MS Fatigue and the MS Vertigo. and who knows if the constant pain in my lower back doesn't have something to do with MS too. i really should have a Spinal MRI... i'm positive that there are lesions there too.
ON A VERY, VERY GOOD NOTE : Provigil has been included in the Department of Health's *Medicine Basket* and now, instead of costing me $110, it's only $18.00 YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY !! now i can take a whole pill everyday, instead of the half-dose that i was financially restricted to. i just know that it's going to make my life even better... if that's possible :-)
God is Good !!!
peace out everyone :-)

of Provigil and hopefully never needing to take it...
i finally bought Provigil today. it's for MS Fatigue. it cost $108.00 !!! i hope the entire box sits, unused, forever :-) that is my prayer to The Almighty this very second.
i never, ever, never, ever want to have another bout of Fatigue in my entire life, in which i plan to live to the nice age of 120, minimum.
MS Fatigue is just horrible. it hits the inner core of your being. it's something so incredibly incipid that makes a zombie out of of a person.
anyway... may the horribly expensive Provigil sit in my meds box until it expires.
peace out everyone !! :-)
