Sugargremlin, isn’t it funny we can all follow each other’s ramblings :-)

Interesting points.

Here’s a link to the neurobiology of the ADD brain: http://www.adhd.org.nz/neuro1.html

In terms of parts of the brain, I remember my psychologist saying something about the basal ganglia and the site above talks about newer imaging studies that also point to the basal ganglia that is presumed to play a role. However that said, while I love reading about that sort of stuff I can never remember the details! BTW they also mention the Stroop test so will have to check it out for fun.

As for RLS – I think I have a mild case. But as a kid I always had leg pain at night ( something my mother also suffers from). I no longer have it but is that the sort of thing you guys are talking about? I’m always needing to move my legs at night or if sitting too long. Also I think when the meds wear off at night my legs movements seem to increase.
