    What is your experience with Adrafinil?

    Hello! I saw Adrafinil mentioned on another thread because it metabolizes into Modafinil, but is said to be over the counter/easier to obtain than Modafinil. I used to take Modafinil, so I'm curious to know if anyone has experience with Adrafinil and, if so, if it helped.

    Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Treatment for CFS

    This is what resolved 99% of my CFS symptoms, and I am hoping that fellow sufferers (and doctors) will at least consider it as a path to check out. It is sadly not on the radar of most doctors and sufferers, but conceptually (in hindsight) quite simple. With exocrine pancreatic insufficiency...
