Hello-
Usually I just do a key word search for my questions and find the answers I need. However, I've noticed, when I look for reference to specific drugs (Ritalin, Wellbutrin), I get an error 403 code when trying to access historical posts that come up in the search results. I can see the thread titles, but when I click on them, the error code comes up.
Anyhow, I am just done with the fatigue. I need to get things done. There's just no way around it. Mostly for my own state of mind. Before I was diagnosed with MND (as yet differentiated between ALS/PLS) I was prescribed Ritalin for my profound fatigue. Aside from mild tremors, it did give me some "pep". Does anyone have any feedback or knowledge about if Ritalin affects progression? My gp seems to think judicious use is acceptable, but I have concerns that there might be an issue here. I don't intend to overdo it, but come on, being too tired to unload the dishwasher?
Does Ritalin affect progression? If it does, I will continue to sit on my *ss and be an unproductive glump.
Does Ritalin cause abnormal or altered EMG results? An internet search does not come up with anything direct. I have a follow up appointment at the ALS clinic for emg in 2.5 weeks. I do not want to have anything other than an accurate result here. Does Ritalin affect emg results? My neuro is virtually impossible to get ahold of, so don't trust my inquiry to be answered before my appointment. I would stop taking it a few days before, regardless, but any info would be appreciated. If there's a concern that this information would send DIHAL'ers into a tizzy, please feel free to send me a pm if you have info.
Many thanks
