I have high blood pressure and take Toprol for it. My doctor is concerned about the possibility of Provigil causing heart palpatations. Is it safe to take Provigil if you have high blood pressure? I'm going to get a sleep study done soon. Even if I come out negative for sleep apnea, could I still benefit from taking Provigil?

My mother who is 64 has been diagnosed with lung cancer- PET scan shows positive areas in other parts of her body. She is refusing to have radiation and chemotherapy treatment. She thinks her life is over. I am trying to be as supportive as I can and respectful of her wishes. This is a difficult situation. I don't want to insist she has therapy - if it she has a short time left- the chemotherapy may cause her suffering. Of course I want her around for as long as possible- but not at the expense of her suffering- and then she still passes on.

I had a lumpectomy with Sentinal node removal about 2 months ago. Lymph nodes were negative and I'm receptor positive. I'm half way into my 33 days of Radiation. The Oncologist wants to put me on Tamoxifen, after radiation. I heard blood clots are a side affect of the drug. My mother died of a Stroke. Cancer doesn't run in our family. My cousin knows of two women(one in her 30's, the other early 40's)both had non-invasive cancer, like mine. Both went on Tamoxifen, BOTH died of massive strokes within 4 months of starting the pill. They were diagnosed 7 years apart. Does anyone else question taking this drug, when you have non-invasive, cancer? I don't want to risk a stroke.

I'm a 48 years old female with advaned osteoarthritis in my right ankle. I'm sure the bad car wreck I had 17 years ago breaking both my legs didn't help.
Not knowing what to expect after the surgery, I think it would help to have someone who is going through it too to talk with. To be honest, I'm scared. I have put this off for about 6 years and now I'm to the point of not having a choice. The pain is so bad, I walk with a limp and now that has effected my hip and back. Maybe I want have to go through alone.
