The neuropsychologist and neurooncologist agreed that I should try provigil and see if it improves things for me. I picked it up today even though my insurance denied it - they only cover it for narcolepsy and ADD. Cost me $291.09 for 30 pills, but it may be well worth it. I took it at 2:30 today. It seems to make each task a little easier which means I am expending less energy in order to get things done so I get less tired. Nice. Hope it continues to work through the next round of chemo. That would be extremely helpful. My dr's are trying to educate my insurance company on the benefits of progivil for people with brain cancer. As a friend of mine put it - it might be easier and/or faster to run out and get diagnosed with ADD.
I'm looking forward to finding out what affect it has this weekend with dancing at Casa Faire. Maybe I won't have to take a nap on Saturday.
