Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I am glad to finally hear that someone else crashes as much as I do. It has gotten really bad here recently and my family is not being very understanding. Sometimes I push myself too hard because I don't want to let them down. I had told my 17 yr old I would take him to the mall today for new shoes, but just didn't have the energy. His face said he was really let down. Most of the time they are very understanding, but this past week or so has pushed them a little more than normal. How do I explain to the SSDI doc that I need to take these little cat naps all throughout the day? How do I make them understand the need for them?Anne Whitworth wrote: Provigil quit working for me - I have my afternoon naps and 1 - 2 of an evening - I get things done in the morning and then crash. When I do groceries or a doctors appointment - then I crash for a day or two - my body decides Re: fatigue Kate, I have suffered from fatigue since I was 30. I am now 42. The doctors dx me with chronic fatigue and I guess taking pain medication didn't help either. I was put on provigil when I was 35 and I was bouncing off the walls LOL. I was also on a weight medication too that gave me energy but I was about 100 lbs at that time and I couldn't afford to lose weight so I went off of it. I went off of provigil to because I felt like I was shaking all the time or fidgeting. I don't know if that is the right description but I have heard that provigil is a god send to most people. I was hyper to start with so maybe that was the reason I felt that way. It's worth a try for you to go on it but as always, talk to your doctor to make sure it's right for you.

Challis, what is the other med your neuro gave you for fatigue? I need something. I had been on the provigil, but then heard something about it; I recall we discussed it on group, but now my brain has wiped it out. take care all, and sweet dreams, kate Peace, Love and Hugs, D.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 It was worse - a 2 hour one between breakfast and lunch - a 2 hour one between lunch and dinner - at least two between dinner and bedtime. hard ones - Hard enough to sleep through Fort Sill firing on the West Range and a ringing phone 3 feet from my ear!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Keep a journal - tell the truth - if you have to do it on tape - you have chronic fatigue syndrome on top of it Re: fatigue Kate, I have suffered from fatigue since I was 30.
