Why is it that every medication I find that might help (me) is on the controlled drugs list?
I mean seriously, even the hormone precursor DHEA is illegal, and while I can understand that use of it would be deemed cheating in the athletics world, I don't see that that is any reason to make it hard to get (legally).
And even bodybuilders don't find enough benefit from it to abuse it!
I also find it hard to believe that even NTs with addictive tendencies could get any significant high from mph.
And melatonin, how the hell could that be abused!?
OMG I found one isn't on the controlled list!! Thyroxine. I don't think it would be terribly much help though, as it only helps with some thyroid problems, nothing else.
And then there's the GP that poopoohed my suggestions of adrenal insufficiency and underfunctioning thyroid and everything (except ADHD by name) being connected. I now find out that they ARE ALL connected, including my (also not specifically named) PTSD.
Just how many fricking symptoms do I have to have before they will do anything about it!
I think my best hope is a short course of steroids (prednisone?), that will hopefully get me back to the level I was at before the shit hit the fan at least, maybe even back to how I was before I came back to this country. I'd be happy to try DHEA first though.
And then there's people who won't even TRY anything, even dietary changes, they just moan, and it pisses me off even worse when it's actually their kids they are complaining about and won't try anything! FFS let your kid decide!
Possibly the worst of all is a mother, (who won't try anything but still expects the school to make special provision) getting totally wound up over her kid's lying and omg now he's stealing (a box of crisps) and then he goes and eats them all *shock horror* in one sitting.
Ok maybe some folks on here won't get why I'm so pissed off at her. After all lying and stealing are wrong.
First off, kids lie most often because they are afraid of disapproval, not just from fear of punishment. And this woman disapproves so much that she needs to tell a complete bunch of strangers about it. There's no way the kid is not going to pick up on that! No wonder he lies to her!
And the stealing and binging, why doesn't she think about possible reasons? She knows he has ADHD, and thinks that the stealing is related to his ADHD, but is ignoring the binging and secret eating. ARRRGH
