Doctors, hospital

Bloody hell. Changed doctors. Seen two.
Both, wouldn't discuss anything of the sort until my medical files arrived.

I sent the hospital a letter along with symptoms current and a tongue lashing for the serious lack of communication between them and the doctors.

June 2008, had my overnight study. At this time, I was already on x2 200mg of provigil from the neurologist/doctor. Hospital sent a letter to the doctor after my overnight sleep study, recommending I take x1 200mh provigil.

December 08/ Jan 09, disputed current x3 200 mg provigil was working. Doctor re-wrote to the hospital recommending giving me x2 200mg provigil.

So, I wrote to them myself. Stating their lack of communication.
The only thing is, because the pharmacist gave me a lecture stating provigil was not
licensed for more the 400mg, asking how long I had been given 600mg a day. I was dubious to state this is my letter to the hospital.

First of all, I didnt want to put my doctors back up. Secondly, it would be hearsay.
Although he was giving me x3 a day 200mg. The prescription stated two.
I certainly was NOT having some pencil pushing pr*i*c*k telling me I was lying, insinuating I had some sort of need for it.

That's the thing. I DO have a need. To be awake! Provigil gives me some wake time.
The brain is willing, but the body is not able. Previously sleeping 18 hours a day. With provigil, i'm sleeping between 10-14 hours a day. Pending previous night's activities.
