What I find interesting while going through all this with DQ and reading/researching is I've sat back and wondered if I, too, have ADD. Most of my reading has been geared toward child symptoms vs. adult, but it has made me sit back and wonder. And from what I read, that's how a lot of adults discover they, too, have it ... by researching their children's symptoms.Nickel said:
:shrug: For the past few years I've had trouble concentrating on one thing at a time, and (like DQ told you) felt that my mind was often racing. I spoke with a doctor about it, and was told I have ADD. Since it doesn't hinder my life, I choose to live with it as is. I've never been one to medicate myself anyways though, I'll often let a headache or cold run its course without medication. Luckily I'm a fairly healthy person and rarely get sick.crabcake said:What I find interesting while going through all this with DQ and reading/researching is I've sat back and wondered if I, too, have ADD.

You need to work on keeping your conspiracy theories straight.. it's one thing to come across as a conspiracy theory whack job, but it's another to come across as a conspiracy theory whack job that doesn't even know one conspiracy from another, you lose all credibility, and may jeopardize your whack job titleczygvtwkr said:Being an adult that believes I had ADHD I must say I believe there are other ways. Im over 30 years old and still have trouble concentrating on one thing at a time. Dont laugh but I took a page from the Vulcans (yes Star Trek) and force myself to sit and meditate and think of one soothing thing.
What drugs do is alter the body chemistry, this can lead to cancer down the road, all sorts of liver, kidney, and central nervous system problems.
Stay away from chlorinated water too.

You don't think having a kid make it day to day in school isn't worth it? I want my son to make it through school which is almost impossible without med's, did it years without med's and this is why he is so far behind.czygvtwkr said:
There are long term effects for anything these days ... smoking, drinking, sunbathing, illegal drugs, medications (prescribed and otc) ... I refuse to feel guilty for helping my daughter with something that is closely monitored by a team of physicians and that helps her be more successful down the road in her education and professional dealings.czygvtwkr said:

That's great!crabcake said:I talked to DQs doc today, and called Shire (co. that makes the patch), and it'll be available mid-May/early June -- at least, that's what they're targeting, and according to the rep, they're on target.
