Re: High pain tolerance, ok, but why?

Jen,

It is great to see words typed that indicate you have found a great close person of support. It sounds like he does have a kind heart and patience to go along with it. If you keep moving in the direction you seem to be heading great things await you.. The great things are what you want them to be. If it is working in Michaels, Solving world hunger or anything in between (personally as an ADHDer world hunger thing is easy but nobody has asked me so Oh well!). College if that is a goal SUPER. I will say it really looks like you are gainning traction with the ADHD thing for sure…

Ok now back to the pain in my arss thing I mean my shoulder.. I am moving forward with it finally getting fixed as i spent way to much time on the phone yesterday with surgeons assistants, surg coordiantor, office mgr and etc. I am feeling some relief in my head even though my shoulder’s pain has become greater as my range of motion and strength has really decreased. Also I spoke to psyches today (2) not just psychologists or MSW’s as i reached out to some resources i forgot i had to make it happen. To see psyches in this state it is usually a 3 month wait. I was able to spend a significant amount of time with one of the Dr’s on the phone (as a mutual friend of ours reached out to him to explain my plight). He gave me some resources regarding ADHD and PTSD as well.

I was surprised he shared so much information instead of just saying I can set up an appt with you and write u a script…… It was great to be told that he has had many patients that have been treated successfully using the systemic approach of education, therapy/counselling, meds (if needed although i think my friend kinda told him about my being for about the last ten years at least) ….. and support structures.

He was also in tune to that maybe the support structures I had in place in my past were probably not the best and my up bringing/age may have been a slight contributing factor regarding my ADHD issues that I succumb to because of them. Again maybe not because family did not really care for me but it was lack of available information and knowledge regarding ADHD and others in my life that may have had knowledge about adhd but because of there own mental health issues took advantage of my ADHD possitives and negatives.(The great news both Docs have seen these trials and tribulations overcome and managed with great success to there patients with ADHD and PTSD) The other good thing both Docs new my therapist and would be more than happy to share information about me if that becomes Nec as part of my treatment.

I must say because of this totallyadd.com thing I gained enough knowledge hence ballz that I was able to speak confidently with the Docs as usually my self esteam is in the pooper……… Duh ADHD issues lead to the inability to educate oneself because of fuzziness in head leading to the inability to concentrate just to read or not to be able to absorb things i read and therefore making it easier for me to forget what little i could read as that fuzziness scrambled egg feeling in my head is almost always there nad it often made me run away as oppossed to straighten things out right away instead of procastinating which often makes things worse,,,,,, Gosh working with this ADHD-PTSD thing is gonna be easy!!!!!!! lolololol hehehehe……….
