I have ADHD?!


Question: I have ADHD!?
I was tested and I have and had ADHD since I was a kid!.

Those who also have it:
-Can you fall asleep at night
- Do you see/hear every little stupid thing that goes on, like I do!?
-Do you get distracted when driving!?
-I cant control myself when I get impatient!. Can you!? How!?
-Do you open your mouth a lot (when you think ur friend is lying to you, etc!.)!?

Just curious here!. Because I have no control over this stupid ADHD and I dont want to take stimulation pills since I dont like taking medications for no reason!.

As for driving- I have a habit of speeding and cutting off slow people and always being in a rush!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
People with ADHD often have difficulty falling asleep, and they do notice lots of things that might pass right by other people!. That is why people with ADHD have trouble concentrating while in school - things distract them, or get their attention that they should not be paying attention to!. Even physical things can become distracting for people with ADHD!. My son would be so upset when there was a wrinkle in his sock, when he was small - the actual physical "feel" of the wrinkle bothered him!. Impatience can also be connected with ADHD, as they do seem to have problems with tolerance to many things!. That is not to say that all of us should not try harder to become more tolerant of things around us, but this can be a little more "challenging" for ADHD people!.

One thing you can do, is to monitor the things you eat!. Some people notice that some foods will make certain symptoms more noticable!. Peanut products, for example can be big contributors, as well as wheat, sugar and some other foods!. If you think foods might be contributing to this, you can keep a food diary and see if you notice symptoms after some certain foods you have eaten!. There are also books about this, and you can look up food sensitivities and ADHD!.

For more discussion on some of the things you have asked about, you might buy a book, called: "Allergies and the Hyperactive Child", by Dr!. Doris Rapp!. This book discusses many of these things, and it pertains to children and adults!. You can find this book on used booksites and it is well worth reading for more information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
