HI yall, I am having the sleepies really bad. Seem to be getting worse and worse too. I take 5 mg of hydrocortisone around 10 and 2.5 around 1 pm. I also take provigil on days I have to go out and drive somewhere and here lately I have to take 2 of them and still fall asleep (can totally take an hour nap on them).

Does anyone have any tricks on how to stay awake when you need to? I have moved up my endo appt now to the 19th to try to talk to her about this and the nausea issues.

I really need some help here, I have to go on Tues (tomorrow) afternoon and take care of my 95 yo mom for 24 yrs and I just don't see how I am going to do that much less drive to her house (30 min away).

HELP PLEASE!
