And now we do the Dance of Joy!
REPORT ABUSEFebruary 28, 2013 at 12:35 pm in reply to: Having my oldest daughter tested for ADHD Inattentive #119301Thanks Rick – I’ll check them out!
She’s 8 years old, so I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to explain what we’re doing when it comes to all of the testing and visits. I don’t want to say too much and confuse her. And then if she does have ADHD, I’ll have to figure out how to explain to her what’s going on so that she doesn’t think something’s “wrong” with her.
Now my 4 year old is a different story all together, and we’ll cross that path when we get to school. Hopefully her hyperactivity won’t affect her schoolwork when she gets to kindergarten.
REPORT ABUSEIOOMA – I’m out of meds again
REPORT ABUSEBe sure to report a bug about the images (link at the bottom of the page) if you haven’t already. Mine did the same thing.
REPORT ABUSEYes! That’s me! I always want to know WHY something works the way it does or HOW something came about – what’s the history of it? I was very curious as a child and still am!
REPORT ABUSEYou’ve lost me. What do you mean by “experienced?”
REPORT ABUSEMy husband has a CPAP, and it made a difference immediately after he used it the first night. He didn’t have ADHD symptoms, but it definitely affected the way he felt and his health.
REPORT ABUSEIf he’s your fiance, then I would definitely talk to him and tell him. If you are going to spend the rest of your life together, then you both will have to find ways to work with the ADHD, because it’s going to affect BOTH of your lives.
When you talk to him, I would give some concrete examples of how ADHD affects you (housework, finances, routines, work, etc) and then give some ways that you both will have to work together.
Now that I think about it, I’d suggest doing this to any couple getting married regardless if they have ADHD or not. Marriage is a partnership that takes a lot of work and compromise.
If he’s open to it, then I would suggest you both read “Is it You, Me, or Adult ADD?” by Gina Pera. It covers relationships and marriages with ADHD.
REPORT ABUSEYes, I have the same problem – it’s not necessarily anger, but more like frustration. I think it’s because I have trouble wording what I want to say (when my meds wear off), so it comes out in a jumble of ideas and words.
@improman, I have the same problem too, esp. when it comes to helping my oldest with her homework. I tend to just “get it,” and I have a hard time explaining and teaching the subject matter. We both just get really frustrated with each other.
REPORT ABUSEI tend to not fit any stereotypes. I think I have broken the mold. Maybe this is a good thing!
REPORT ABUSEw00t! I finished up painting another section of the cabinets! Just one section left!
REPORT ABUSEAs harsh as this seems, the man in the article shoulders the majority of the blame IMO because he consciously and willingly abused drugs that were not meant for him. Unfortunately, he paid the ultimate price, and his family has to deal with the fallout.
REPORT ABUSEYou’re not able to see a different doctor in your area?
REPORT ABUSECOFFEE! 🙂
