Hey sleepy,

I told him right out the reason I was on Provigil rather than Ritalin. It's due to that week of "testing" ritalin in which the mentioned side effects occurred due to the med and were awful! So I dont really know why he thinks Ritalin is so great at treating N? And why it raised "red flags" as to if it didnt help me and caused such side effects then maybe my diagnosis of EDS is off?

Actually the only good thing about Ritalin was that I was wide wide awake, as in couldn't sleep! (maybe b/c i was always nauseau and hunger pains - no appetite on that stuff).But after feeling so horrible I decided I'd rather be half awake on Provigil with far less side effects.... still don't know what kinda silly three headed kid i will give birth to due to Provigil, but we'll see...

Yep I actually turned green!!!My bosses were so worried about me, they saw it... wasn't too pretty i guess ;)
