Kind and competent but not extraordinary

Chronic Illnesses: Long COVID
Last appointment: Within the last 6 months

I saw Dr. Kashani about half a dozen times to evaluate my fatigue and discuss possible treatments. He had me do a home sleep test (mostly for insurance purposes), then an in-clinic sleep test with an overnight portion and a daytime multiple sleep latency portion. He ended up prescribing me modafinil (Provigil) off-label, which has been helpful for my fatigue and brain fog.
