Multiple Sclerosis and yet another drug!

I am anti-drug whenever possible. However, there comes a point that I need help and I need to look to pharmaceuticals to help manage the side effects of multiple sclerosis.

I have had a prescription for Provigil for quite some time and I would take a quarter of a pill occasionally. However, I am not a big fan of drugs and when I only want to take what I absolutely need when I have to take them. Up until now, I don't think I understood how Provigil can help how I deal with multiple sclerosis every day.

I have been suffering from (what I call) a foggy brain for quite some time. Sometimes it is worse than others but recently it became everyday. I take 4-amino pyridine daily -- I thought this was for the foggy brain (and mobility and generally feeling good/normal). However, my foggy brain was still present and this is one thing I can not stand with multiple sclerosis.

My fabulous friend Mo reminded me that I had Provigil and that should help clear my mind so I could think better. I have been hesitant to take this drug as others have reported it makes them race a little unnaturally once in their body (think speed). However, I am almost desperate. My fogginess is almost to the point of nausea so I started taking about 50mg daily.

Wow - what a difference!! Multiple sclerosis seems a little more manageable with this drug in my body!!!
