Gayle--
You lost your sweet dog? I am so sorry. Jeez, I think you've had a lot of losses lately. (Hugs) 17 years is like a lifetime. I still think of my lab every day, and it's been three years. We really rely on our canine (and other) animal companions.
So, what about what Scott mentioned? (I don't know the med he named.) Did your internist have any insight or suggestions for you since he said you seem to need the 80? I know the stimulants are out--unless you would respond to something like ritalin or vyvanase (a slow release dexadrine), and you are already on the provigil.
Yes, falling can't be allowed--too risky. When do you see your pdoc again? Can you consult before the holidays? It would be great for you to enjoy yourself....
The celiac test. Hmmm. Would you feel better IF you indeed did have celiac and adhered to the diet--or would it be just another thing to monitor (and deny yourself) without any tangible reward? And other blood tests? Keep us in the loop, if you would.
I know what you mean about the google searches and then finding one's own post pop-up. Sigh.
I'm sorry you've been having a difficult time, Gayle--I hope you get your relief asap. You deserve it!
hugs,
fb
