Had to get up earliy today so did take the provigil. I don't take it everyday unless i absolutely have to, buisness is there but a little slow I'll take a little rest when i can get it and it's expensive and sometimes i have trouble sleeping at night when i take it. But when your sick your sick. I still had to take a nap today. Oh my i had gas cramps, really strong lower abdomanal cramps. I was gowing to take a pain pill but some how feel asleep. I took my pred and actually drank a few Mt. Dews today. So i was shocked that i feel asleep. Well at least i woke back up. Thats o.k. my Doctors instuctions are to get plenty of rest. Alright i am good at that at least and drink plenty of fliuds. Well my script is for 200mg of provigil and i don't take that much. I only took 50mg. If i take 100mg i don't sleep well. But the 50mg usually gets me threw the work day along with a bit of caffiene. I would rather be a bit drowsie and fighting it then jittery and mentally off. Maybe i need to adjust to a higher dose. I had quit flaring by the time they gave me the provigil but i was still sleepy and now i am starting to flare so maybe more tired. I would say from being ill but i have been ill straight along for many months so it probably isn't that. I am thinking it is just a sweaty sleepy RA flare day, as my belly usually hates the RA as much as anything.
