[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 201263, member: 1233"] My MOTHER was just diagnosed a couple of years ago. She takes ritalin, the short acting kind. She has some other health problems and the extended release medications are not something her body can tolerate. She managed to get 2 kids raised and out of the house (a couple of time, LOL!), get a bachelors, then go BACK to college for a masters and phd in her late 30's. It was AFTER this, and after she saw the HUGE difference ADHD medications make for Wiz (her oldest grandkid), and for my bro that she talked to her therapist and doctor about adult ADHD. She has the inattentive type. I think she problem has Absence Seizures (ADHD can be diagnosis'd when the person really has this - it is seizures that are just "blanking out" as my daughter describes it), but I truly believe she has ADHD also. I was very skeptical at first about this, but she is happier, healthier, and seems to feel better since the treatment with ritalin started. anyway, it truly IS possible to work to modify your life to compensate for ADHD, then discover as an adult that medication and other interventions can make things MUCH easier.
