Do you think people who have ADHD or ADD have a below average IQ? Some call ADHD people "special" but what does that mean? Is it just a feel good word or does it have some truth to it?

Do you think people who suffer from ADHD or ADD have above or below average intelligence?

I have this tingling/tickling feeling in my throat and sometimes it reaches my chest. I get freaked out and I get panic attacks, is this a symptom of panic attacks or heartburn?

I'm already on anti-anxiety medications...3 of them. If the dosage gets upped any more, I will be a zombie. If I tell my doctor to lower the dosage even a little, my mind will be in a frenzy: having multiple thoughts at the same time, not being able to concentrate on anything (reading, listening to music, movies, people talking to me, schoolwork), not to mention getting majorly clammy hands, feet, and face, my pupils dilating like saucers, and non-stop talking on the phone, in person, or chatting online. That really turns people off. Still, even though I'm at a fairly good place right now with the meds, I think some sort of alternative medicine is in order. I've tried Kava Kava (doesn't do anything), Kratom (no effect), and Blue Lotus (a little buzz when seeped in wine, but not anti-anxiety effects). I absolutely positively can't do anything that has stimulant properties in it, obviously. I don't eat/drink anything with caffeine. I stay away from sugary foods. And I don't smoke.

I'm pretty sure I have carpal tunnel as I have all the symptoms, and the doctor said that's most likely what it is. I'm doing all the necessary treatment, so how long until it goes away?

I have kinda gone beyond what this site was supposed to be made for and I know that...I also know that each of you who have so patiently answered my questions have taken time out of your busy day to try and help me see some kind of sense in things. I really do appreciate the input and I want to thank each and every one of you who responded, even those of you who just gave a smart assed response because everything was valuable to me. I have to say that nothing has been resolved yet and I am still looking at getting on that plane and landing in LGW with tears in my eyes. But that you all so much for answering my questions and at least trying to show me the way to sanity in an insane situation. Nite, folks..I wish I could hug you all! ~still crying here~

I don't want a chek up or anything and hope they won't make me, I haven't been to the dentist in a couple years and don't have dental insurance; a filling broke out just now and I want it replaced. I know it varies depending on the dentist, I just want some sort of idea.

I have an ingrown toenail/fungus in my middle toe, i have already seen a doctor, and have an appt. with a foot doctor to remove the nail next week...I have been putting neosporin on it, but about two hours ago, I started to get pain in the toe, and it has become unbearable. I can't stand on the foot or apply any pressure to it with out causing more pain. I tried placing the foot in warm water and that just caused my toe to burn as hell. My toe is now swollen. Is there any remedies I can do at home? It is nighttime right now, so doctors are not available. Please, any ideas to take away this pain please! HELP!!

We need real excuses here, We lead the world in obesity, No other country can come close to the USA in obesity rates , Some 71% (really discusting). If you are going to answer this question with any of the typical fat person answers, go away your lying to yourself. Those answers would include anything that takes the blame off you personally. IE, Im bigged boned (old), I have a slow digestive system (stupid), The fast food industry (completely ignorant), I have diabetes (because your fat), Its in my genes (thats an uneducated one), I have a medical condition that prevents me from excersizeing (its called obesity)...The answers should (Now read carefully) relate to why you sit on your butt all day and snack, eat, pork out, on high calorie foods and dont excersize (Dont go there, If you ate right and excersized you would not be fat). What makes 71% of Amaricans do this. We are known as the nation of pigs, Pigs are gross!! We look gross, Are we under some kind of bio food attack?

I need to find somebody who is knowladgable in alternative med. I have some conditions and one of them they are giving me meds for has made me MUCH sicker and actually ended up I had to have a surgery and am still having much problems that the surgery was suppost to help. I also am trying to find natural ways to help with chronic pain and REALLY bad anxiety. I am tired of being on major medacine and it not helping. I also suffer from insomnia and sleeping pills do not help nor does melatonin. If somebody could please help with some ideas. I will have health insurance starting next month but I have spen so much time with doctors and it has not helped so now I feel like I need to see what nature can do for me.

Thank you

The past couple nights I've been feeling really uneasy and kinda scared. I've been having trouble sleeping and when I do I've had odd somewhat scary dreams, and I wake up scared.
Every time I look out a window or door I picture someone standing there....so on and so on. Plus it seems like my dog has been acting weird, looking around and spooking me out even more.
This isn't like me....it takes alot to scare me.
Any suggestions as to what the heck is going on? I'm freaking out over here!
Thanks.
