Good idea to search "provigil". Express scripts for me works as the information unit of blue cross I guess. I go to pharmacy of my choice, they find out i need a PA, they fax doctor. Doctor gives reasons and faxes back to pharmacy. Pharmacy faxes to blue cross. I get a notification from express scri...

Now that I think about it, I usually get an approved notice in the mail. Haven't gotten one yet for the Nuvigil.... So I wont get too excited about Nuvigil yet.

OP, what you are saying is you cant call a neurologist and make an appointment? That is what I did. (USA)

Yes, exactly. Lol. For all I know it is for a bioidentical progesterone.

I received a pre recorded call yesterday from express scripts saying my request for a prior authorization has been approved. And the only medicine I have pending is Nuvigil, so it appears I have Nuvigil now. I believe the dose prescribed is 250 mg. My pharmacy is only open M-F starting at 9:30, so I...

From wikipedia: "The diagnosis of a silent stroke is usually made as an incidental finding (by chance) of various neuroimaging techniques. Silent strokes may be detected by: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)[44][45] Computerized axial tomography (CAT scan)[46][47][48] Transcranial Doppler ultrasonogr...

Cognitive issues were what led me on this last round of doctors where i discovered the sleep apnea and in the course pf testing, I saw a neurologist, had a brain MRI and a carotid US and was discharged from the neurologist. So I assume that means no strokes since my brain MRI and the US were both no...

And in all the research I've done, i have never run across anything that said eliminating certain foods would eliminate obstructive sleep apnea...

Its very possible that your flopping around will stop with treatment. DH used to say I flopped around like a fish but as I am treated with CPAP the flopping has subsided a lot.

Mine isn't a weight incurred problem. Sorry.

Bummer deedee. I'm not ready to send mine back yet, but I do wonder if they take the mask back will they take the tube back too? For me It works well on my side and when I stomach sleep (hello!!! So happy to stomach sleep again!!). I have got to figure out a way to get that piece from hurting my nos...

I bought the featherlight tube because the videos i watched basically say you need to buy it to prevent leaks by getting the weight off the mask. I'm still unsure of if this mask is going to work for me. I have no major leaking problems. But I'm still fidgeting with the mask all night long to get th...

Thanks! Saw sleep doc today-- so now I have an insomnia diagnosis with the OSA one. Not uncommon. He did say the OSA is treated and we have to work on the other sleep problems. He also said I appear to be a "long sleeper"... I have a plan and I agree with it. Thanks for the help!!! I really apprecia...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the support. It means a lot to me. I have experienced the following the symptoms over the last 6 years and they have progressively worsened over the last few years: 1. CHRONIC fatigue 2. NO MOTIVATION- I can sit and watch tv or surf the net all the day but I can never fi...

Apparently I had the upper straps too tight? I'll have to play around with the headgear again tonight before I go to bed.
