Nothing helps more than restful sleep but it must be hard when your ADD is acting up.

But that part you write about how you are so much more likely to get into car accidents, drown or have a accident in the house is pretty scary. What does it actually feel like? And how does the medication work?meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113578396438869433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-58175890315282146782007-05-30T14:14:00.000-04:002007-05-30T14:14:00.000-04:00Thanks guys, don't worry, I have some meds, just n...Thanks guys, don't worry, I have some meds, just not the perfect ideal time release ones. I need the repeat for that. <BR/><BR/>But, good news, I went out grocery shopping and bought lots of food, and on the way some idiot slams on his brakes in the middle of an intersection and tries go in reverse and I ALMOST rear ended him, but slammed on the brakes just in time. <BR/><BR/>Thank God for Ritalin!

He had ADD, and had been adopted but by his great aunt and uncle. His great aunt told me that once learned it was ADD (remarkably not paired with HD) she was certain her sister and niece had it too, very severely, and that that was why Jaime's mom would go to the store and forget she'd brought him with her, and other things that made her feel she needed to give him up.<BR/><BR/>He was diagnosed while in my class. Before then, he would just blow my mind - because he'd be swimming, get distracted by the patterns on the ceiling and forget to move his arms and legs. How can you forget to perform an act of self preservation like paddling?! He'd start sinking and I'd have to rescue him time and time again. After I learned he had ADD, I thought, so that's what that's like. And I could never ever again understand thinking it's fakery or laziness. <BR/><BR/>Get your meds Aurelia!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887313952590843057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-60947882323862974282007-05-30T11:02:00.000-04:002007-05-30T11:02:00.000-04:00This stinks.

So sorry this is one more thing you have to fight so hard to get the care you need.<BR/><BR/>It did occur to me though that another adult population who might share your frustrations would be those who suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I knew a woman who battled this for years at a time when people were still very skeptical of its legitimacy (I imagine many still are). I never doubted her for a minute because I knew what a lively, ambitious woman she was and how suddenly debilitated she became. I don't even know what they do for people with CFS now, if anything. There was nothing that could be done back then.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.com
