    Celiac Symptoms Common in Fibromyalgia

    Good to know about the tablets; I will have to try them. I agree, it seems to me when I'm eating gluten, all of my fibro-related symptoms seem to amp up a bit -- not just the gut issues. It's hard to be sure because they are not extreme, but I've experimented enough that the pattern seems...

    Celiac Symptoms Common in Fibromyalgia

    Gluten is a weird one for me. I got an endoscopy about a year ago (after one of two celiac blood tests came back marginally positive), but the gastroenterologist found no evidence of celiac after the endoscopy. Still, after giving up gluten my longstanding IBS improved. I've experimented with...

    Modafinil

    Yeah, I have nothing against India (or most other countries for that matter). It's more the internet I don't know if I can trust. If I knew a certain company was good I'd probably try it -- although if Nuvigil works out for me, it'll wind up costing about $1.50 per day (including deductible), so...

    Poll The Reverse Bucket List for ME/CFS: If You Were Well.....What Would You Do?

    I would go back and relive my professional life (and assorted aspirations) with greater balance and less forced energy. Oh wait, you didn't say we could go back in time? Hiking, camping, and travel, yes, but even more: I would probably find a significant other to spend my days and nights...

    Modafinil

    Well, just got Nuvigil approved, so I'll find out soon how helpful it might be. FYI, Humana doesn't even list modafinil anymore on their comprehensive formulary (they did in December). Maybe they knew it was going away, and that's why they denied coverage in December. Their most recent denial...

    Modafinil

    Safe to assume everything said of modafinil also applies to Nuvigil? Coincidentally I just today received a letter from Humana indicating that they prefer Nuvigil over the generic modafinil (go figure). It gives me some hope I might still be able to try Nuvigil, if not Provigil.

    Fibromyalgia Acteyl-L Carnitine About as Effective as Antidepressants in Fibromyalgia

    I will have to try it. Duloxetine has proved a godsend for me -- almost entirely eliminating my worst burning pain (but it does nothing for my energy, and I perceive no particular psychological effects). Since it's a chore to wean oneself from duloxetine, I wonder if I'd learn anything from just...

    Modafinil

    This is really interesting. My neurologist prescribed modafinil in early December, but we've been battling Humana's refusal ever since. I had only known it to be a sophisticated stimulant, but reading of its neuroprotective properties makes me all the more eager to try it.
