Re: Expert Doctor says I don't have ADD – I say I do

[Anonymous]

I spent many years being told I have it, then I don’t, then I was faking it, etc.

I am from an isolated town in Labrador and our hospital is host to a bevy of residents fresh out of school and no real experience. So you get the know-it-alls, the quasi-racist, ones who don’t prescribe medication and ones that are too medication happy. You can barely get to know a doctor for longer than a few months and by the time you get a good report with them, they move on to where they want to be, instead of stuck in Labrador LOL

Just get another opinion and don’t be afraid to express your deepest fears and how much the ADD is disrupting you life. I was always vague with DR’s and I realize how much that hindered me in the long run. Once I was honest with them about everything, the quicker we could begin to find a reasonable solution.
