As I discussed before, caffeine does nothing for me. 10 teaspoons (yes, 10) of nescafe, 1 cup of water, no milk no sugar. tried 3x MEGA doses daytime evening, before going to bed, no difference in sleeping methodology (o.O) No addiction, no withdrawal.
Still don't understand it....... was looking at hyperexcreter term the other day and they lose a lot of certain drugs too quickly, so it never takes effect........
I don't know.......I can't even be bothered to look on elowed about caffeine........... LAzy!

£$£$" off John nick or whoever you, I am so bored of you. ;D Who's intolerant? not me guvnor....... Well jon, I act the same as you and think the same. I think maybe we all share the common symptoms of 1 or 0 thinking. Maybe your father is a bit of a money grabber. Ie, pretty detached, not really interested in family. Sorry to say it, but there are plenty of these people if you look around. OR maybe he just thinks your'e a£$£$ lol!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D It's very difficult Jon, When I get into "one" it actually starts becoming very difficult for me to even have a discussion. You only have to watch Russells vid in my general link to understand the emotional issues linked to people with adhd/or symptoms.

I talk a lot and can write a lot (groan) but sometimes its just time padding.
Really though, I think it all just means nothing to me, or less than nothing....... O.o or does it? who knows, I don't....
When I have film night with some friends, we used to joke about "wouldn't be a film, without us talking all over it" Sometimes, you just know, even with a good film, that eventually one must unlesh the omniwaffle verbal onslaught, lest they explode in a cloud of containment.

Lol, can we be sure that schools as a collective (like the borg) are not ADHD? ie random, lack of structure, standardised policies..
I am sure I read a month or so ago on here , that one school was not keen about giving meds to the ADHD child? Once they realised the perils of no meds........aarghhhhhhh, they were quick to change their minds.

Cygnet, Stories like yours are important to add clarity to differential diagnosis. _____________________ Right, let me state this for clarity. I am always of the opinion that until something is totally proven/disproven....it is always a possibility. You only have to watch the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy RE the improbability engine. LOL Now, I am a delver of information and because of some business experience I learned of the importance of statistics. Unfortunately, what I failed to take into account was that when a party wishes to push something (whatever it is) they ultimately do a good job of pushing the negative information out of the window/under the carpet, so sometimes things are deliberately ignored shock horror, because of money or a certain pushing of a regime.....I always try to operate in the open. This means that when I write something, I always try to be careful about the accuracy. I have studied (in my own time) many things that I unfortunately have forgotten the fine details of. Whether it's hormones, adhd, technology, science, physics, chemistry, it all gets a turn, but none to a high enough level because (as per symptoms of adhd/depression/possible thyroid/etc) I get bored/lost. So, in my mind, the following is clear. Your personal Genetic makeup can really affect many aspects of your body, so until something is ruled out, it is still a possibility unless enough "open minded" experts agree that it is not a possibility..
NOTE: Secretions = anything produced by your body. All organs/hormones are important, but without some secretions you will certainly not enjoy anything in life. As we know, some people may produce less or none of a certain hormone or enzyme, leading to big problems in production of other components of the body. For instance LOW testosterone can cause depression symptoms, lowered bone mineral density etc etc although its not necessarily the direct cause, it may affect the production of levels of other secretionsNOTE: for those who don't know. Prefix Hypo = smaller than average/too low/not in balance with body Hyper = larger than average, too high, not in balance with body. (basic terms) So, thyroid - hypo = basically sluggish, lowered metabolism plus the multitude of symptoms. It would be nice to start with the strongest indicators, say 4-5 strong symptoms, instead of the 30 or so that I see online. Hypothyroid untreated -CAN mimic some symptoms of ADHD inattentive as well as causing intolerance to cold, mental lethargy, probably add to depression potentials etc etc. ADHD I still believe, can exist without any other issues. until its proven otherwise....... Hyperthyroid - well you'll have to look out for that lol as I don't want to go on for too long...... ADHD + untreated thyroid therefore, can also exist, perhaps this exists as a SLUGGISH COGNITIVE TEMPO?? Russell Barkley seems to indicate that this is NOT to do with ADHD though.... Draw your own conclusions. So, summing up, basically, some of you here who do not respond to a decently titrated dose of ANY of the ADHD meds, could be hypothyroid or WHO KNOWS what else. Until it's properly ruled out, it's a possibility. As I told the various people in the NHS, until there is something else that I fit into, then I have the "symptoms" of ADHD. There is something else we should also take into account for those with untreatable ADHD- hyperactive. Genetic reverse dopamine simulating ADHD and untreatable with converntional medicine (as of the date) www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?ID=6540If there is one thing that we can be sure of, dopamine levels, however they are affected, are so important to keep control of..... Well, I tried to make some sense with this post.....I hope it does make some sense lol........

Simone, I wish to understand more about your experience of the cambridge diet. I hope you can answer some critical questions. 1) Since you first started it how much weight have you lost- weight that has stayed off.? 2) The longest time that you have been on it for without any significant, consistent failings. 3) How many times have you been on it or is it a constant way of life? 4) Have you achieved a desired target weight on it? 5) What is your current Systolic Diastolic BP verified by calibrated/trusted devices? and your pulse etc? are they considered very good, good or average? How do you feel? etc etc? 6) Have doctors validated your health overall via blood tests etc? It's good to have more detail as I sure you know that any 500 calorie per day diets (even ones that use ketosis as an additional food source) would usually be ridiculed by most health professionals. Have you had, for instance, bone density scans, or other tests that show that your body systems are intact and not being set up for a failure in the future because they the low calorie diet is in fact leeching from your body - somehow - I am quite interested to know, because I have read about many different eating regimes over the years. So, if one does work, it is something to read about and pass around.

Gav, interesting points. Perhaps a depleted brain does become less error checking or maybe its a mix of both. Unless one is independently assessed, perhaps it would be unclear either way?
I know that when I have stayed up for a while, past 24 hours, I feel more placid, but perhaps I am lightheaded and in a world all of my own.

snap with the birthdates lol..... Its good to know GAV, that even with all of your nutritional care, you still are here.
ARe you extra proof, along with Russell Barkley's comments that ADHD is not just food issue caused, that taking good care of yourself nutitionally, still does not change the ADHD fact.
I stacked credit cards like nothing else....for years, paid religiously, perfectly, (minimum payemnts ahem) .......until I failed to maintain them, bang......all gone now.....no buffer........ If I ever start to live....I may just have to get used to a world without any buffering.......safety nets.... 35 and living with parents...........hmmmmmm...
Don't really care at the moment though as I have quite a few things to try......

"Perfectionism and ADHD can't coincide"
Lol, I think I may have both. I love the details, but I just fail to finish.
I have posted an article which states that perfectionism predicts depression etc.
So, If a person has both, that must surely lead to a "beaten before I even started" philosophy.
I am a classic "in 2 minds case"
Maybe it is just perfectionism but I am too drained to deal with it?
Time will show the solutions, I hope.

Nick, did you read my chemical imbalance link, particularly the part about manic people trying to invent warp drive, or translating the bible into hillbilly etc? I am sure things can co-exist. Also, I believe the manic phase of bipolar I means one will be up for days without sleep or very little, bipolar II is slightly less days, but research is still in flux, so things can be tweaked here and there. WHat happens to a person when their nutritional intake is perfect "for them"? what would change? Who knows what is perfect for them? There could be a couple of genetic issues that reduce absorbtion, production of some key elements, who knows? Interesting, because GABA is linked with manic cycles. My previous post explained how darkness onset (obviously influenced by the pineal gland) causes the brain to release extra doses of neurotransmitters including GABA. I could not find out if GABA increases or decreases during lack of sleep. If it drops, then it can easily predict a manic cycle............ The trouble is though, that GABA is an inhibitor. The higher it goes, the slower the synapses go. This is good, as having a slow brain, may be less prone to thinking errors AKA bugs......lol IF GABA goes up, your synapses will be slower than before. As I wrote previously, your synchronisation will be better. Maybe you interpret 10 x faster thinking when its actually better synchronisation so it gets you there faster? ??

So at age 5. what stresses/requirements are there to force ADHD to become more of a problem? errrrrr. nothing really.
Age 6-7,9 10, 11. Then bang secondary school, oh, you need a rucksack, you need to follow timetables, you need to find friends, you need to do coursework (at home omg) you need to listen to teachers lest they detentionify your sorry ADHD ass. You need to revise, you need to get home yourself and get to work. GEt your schoolbooks ready, have the correct tools for the job.
Then what happens after school years......college, university. (not that I even got to college) cars!!!!! argh, budgeting, working part time.
So, I surmise that anyone who thinks that ADHD goes away with adulthood is well you know.....
I suppose though, that the idea of testing for ADHD at a young age, should be easier, as there are far less distractions. Oh, I can't be bothered to type anymore because I don't think I got my point across

I just want to re-iterate part 2..in case it gets overlooked amongst all of my other text. 2) IF you do lose really quick, you can easily end up with this........ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PannusThen of course, the cycle starts all over again as person, now with pannus, tries to "get rid of it" I don't know what the stats are for pannus potential versus weight lost per week......so I can only mention that Pannus is quite nasty for those who have it.
