The Life and Times of.....Me

Oct 21, 2005 20:48

So it's been a hell of a week. I got into a fight with my sister on Sunday and she's still not speaking to me....trust me thats a blessing! Now I don't have to hear about her "heart condition" or her other multiple health issues and that may sound cold hearted but if you knew her you'd think the same thing!!

My daughter has learning disabilities ( Read more... )

Not to poke my nose where it doesn't belong, and feel free to tell me to stuff it.

I'm a CMA for a family doc, and we've seen really positive results with Strattera. It's one of the few non-stimulant medications for ADD/ADHD.

And yeah, drugs are not the answer when there are other options. But I've always felt that when the emotional, mental and financial cost of those other options is too much to bear, and the results are less than desired, why not try a medication? In my experiance, the results far outweigh the potential side effects (and I say potential because they don't occur with every patient).

Commence telling me off.

La Imperatrix and I discussed this for several hours on the phone, and I find myself agreeing with Domina Rin here. If the worst was to happen and the Straterra doesn't take, then you gradually take her off and try something else, and I think the counselling will help, to be honest.

No matter what happens, Dee, you have my love and my support and double goes for my favourite Neice (I really do like Kaylee).

Wow, its like a play back to what I went through in grade school and what my mom had to hear every year.

But yeah, I had to go through the same and they wanted to put me on a bunch of stuff but my mother refused. I was just forced to deal on my own(yeah, thanks mom)and learn to live with my ADD. Its hard but I've found my own little ways, though I still struggle at times.

I'm not poking my nose in where it don't belong and don't mean to if it looks like, I just know its hard having to just deal. I lived it and am still living it.
