I was born as a premature baby with one arm missing from birth . I have always had add/adhd problems since I was a little girl and im now age 40 . I did attend some special schools for dyslexia when I was in elementry school . Years ago add/adhd was called minial brain disfuntion before doctors realy knew what add/adhd was . Today doctors know so much more . Oh boaring subject but I just need some answers. How do I get treated/ meds /support groups when I dont have health insurance ? Im just intrested in other people who have add/adhd and how they all cope .
Thank You : )

Hi my husband is 38 and was diagnosed ADHD about 5 years ago and severley Dyslexic. I am in liverpool, UK, so the process might be different than the US but please email me (and anyone else esp. UK who lives with or is ADHD adult). I do get tired about ADD just being related to children so its good to hear from more adults. Good luck I'm thinking of you.xx grtaylor76@yahoo.co.uk

i'm still 14.
doctor says i've adhd.
haven't gone back yet to my doctor for further test/checking up.
i don't know, but i'm a, boasting aside, intelligent student.
now, im studying in a school full of smart kids, special science/mathematics curriculum... i'm losing it.
i guess, it's my condition... it's really affecting my grades...
when i review my notes i forgot it in not more than 5 minutes...
this really sucks.

Welcome to the club!!!!!! You can find your local community mental health, they treat the uninsured on a sliding scale fee, so you may need to pay like $5.00 or so but it may be nothing. They can treat you and give you the meds.
These really help.
