If you have'nt already looked into what Gina Pera calls "Traveling Companion's" with ADD/ADHD, then I hope will.<br /><br /> I highly recommend Gina's book "Is it You? Me? or Adult ADD?". It has truly been a "Gift" for me! She has devoted her life to helping all people that are affected by ADD, wheather it's us ADD'ers, or the people that love us!<br /><br />I know from what you have said here, and on your own blog, that you are trying your best to deal with this, and not letting it beat you Bro.!Scott Hutsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454268138477849476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561747928924427654.post-82326619909505368732009-12-21T10:14:28.077-08:002009-12-21T10:14:28.077-08:00I hope you write more about your M.S.

It's amazing how many things humans have to handle in a lifetime. <br /><br />When my therapist first suggested that I might have ADD months ago, my first thought was: Great. I have heart disease (three heart attacks and counting), diabetes, depression, and now ADD. Just what I need.<br /><br />On the bright side, I'm starting to think that a lot of my depression is actually a result of untreated ADD; so there's one thing I might be able to cross off my list.

But you may also find this interesting...I had some unusual and years long auto-immune phenomema when I was a child, that were temporarily debilitating...and my family on my mother's is one big mixed bag of various mental disorders including severe anxiety and depression and other stuff never officialy dx'ed, diabetics (which can have an auto-immune component, and people with other strange auto-immune diagnoses like Reynaud's, Fibromyalgia and of course my mother's MS diagnosis.<br /><br />So...who knows what connections medical research may find in the future...maybe I should submit my family to be considered for a study, lol...<br /><br />As for what to post...just post what you're thinking about and I bet people will find it interesting most of the time :)18 Channelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841490256076600058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561747928924427654.post-36255743836352225642009-09-09T12:47:27.939-07:002009-09-09T12:47:27.939-07:00Gina!!,

Why not write about all of it?<br /><br />So many people assume that ADHD travels alone, but it almost never does. There is almost always a traveling companion, such as anxiety or depression and even diabetes or hypertension.<br /><br />I look forward to reading what you have to say!<br /><br />GinaGina Perahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663852607629403279noreply@blogger.com
