My Dr prescribed modafinil (sp?) for fatigue and my insurance won't cover it, even with prior approval.
So, after reading just about every post in the fatigue forum, I wrote down all the different meds everyone here has taken and sent my Dr an email asking her if she thought any of those would help with fatigue and being able to focus better.
She sent me an email back today saying this : "I will need to determine the other medications available on the formulary. The other medications are not usually used in MS"
And went on to say if I have a copy of the formulary, to give it to the nurse.
I'm really new with ms. Just got diagnosed 10 months ago. I don't know what a formulary is lol.
She did tell me at my last appt that she figured my insurance wouldn't approve the modonafil. I asked her if there was something else I could take and as she walked out the door, all she said was, nothing OTC would work for peuople with ms.
I don't know what else to do, it's like she feels that the modonafil is the only
medicine that helps anyone with ms.
Can anyone tell me what she meant by the other medications on the formulary? And is she saying that all the other fatigue meds out there won't work with people with ms?
Just not understanding her email I guess lol.
Oh, that was all of the email. Just 2 sentences.
