I'm doing really well all things considered. Am on Arava, CellCept, Plaquenil, and a million other things. My dog believe it or not has outlived his cancer prognosis by 8 months so far and takes a supplement called Wobezym which they said it good for autoimmune too so I'm going to ask the pharmacologist if I can take that too. The Cellcept has knocked me back a bit, the fatigue is back and the other day I wanted to crawl in bed and somehow made it through the work day. But I need to be on my game at work, cannot afford to lose a job. I took Provigil last year on a ski trip and it was like a miracle drug. Then I crashed. Anyone have experience with this? Am thinking it could help me perform better at work during the week. I don't care if I sleep all weekend.

I tried provigil also and felt great for 3 days. I felt like my old self. On the 4th day I felt like I was reacting to it. Pleurisy pain, felt out of breath, body ached, felt like I was coming down with something. Could not get out of bed for several days afterward. I never took again for fear of a reaction. I am sensitive to many medications.

Good Luck
