Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I am sick to death of being exhausted all the time. I had my Rhuemy take me off the MTX and that has helped some. I never sleep for more than 3 hours at a time so he prescribed Rezurem, a new non narcotic sleeping pill. It helped me go to slepp but I was still up every couple of hours for a while. The next day I was extremely groggy all day, ny son asked me if I had a hangover! And I don't drink! So I have not taken that since. I am overwhelmed as I have so many responsibilities that I have to take care of. I am self employed and opening a new office (my third), between teaching 4 nights a week, training employees, painting and setting up computers, etc. I have no time left for myself, let alone my family. My hands are a mess so I am doing the PUVA treatments again twice a week, which is a 50 mile round trip ride. My joints are killing me. I don't think the Enbrel is working near as well since I was reduced to once a week. My well at home went out last week and we just had to replace that, my washing machine is not spinning out the clothes, so I need to replace that too and the raccoons have done $6,000.00 worh of damage to my sun porch. When it rains it pours! Ok, that is my rant for today.....somehow it just feels better to vent. Thanks for listening, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 You can get it almost anywhere . I would advise trying vitacost online . You can buy it at cvs ,gnc,probably target, kmart ,or almost anywhere . It is expensive but worth it . Also helps with the brain fog thing and memory .its not a prescription drug but it is expensive so shop around.You might want to ask your doctor . I am sure that your cardiologist would recommend it . cathy from ma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Provigil has " cured " my fatigue. Available by perscription only, and it costs about $9.00 each pill. Non-addictive, gives me the energy to go the entire day. I take it days I know I can't get in my normal hour nap, its fabulous stuff. It is also used as an " A.D.D. " treatment for adults, really helps with the brain fog. bob bowman pretzelb3@... wrote: You can get it almost anywhere . I would advise trying vitacost online .

He was going to have to request, in writing, every 30 days, exactly why I needed it. Even then he said it would take something like sleep apnea (SP?) to get it approved. What a shame!
