Common Questions and Answers about Add testing

You are definitely not the only one going through this at the school. The testing should be done by them. I know that in public schools testing can be forced through federal laws and I would think (but not positive) that something like that would be true for any college that accepts federal funding. Hope this helps.
Sounds normal to me, to be honest. She's only 6------ it is difficult to block out all things and completely focus when in a noisy (which they all kind of are at that age) classroom. Is she doing fine with her work?? Is school coming to you with complaints?
If not, then I would not make this into a big deal. If you think about it, we all have a subconsious as well that 'speaks' to us. Totally normal but a hard thing for a young child to verbalize.
Also, just wanted to add this: I had a second possible exposure halfway thru my PEP, I completed my PEP and I assume the testing guidelines remain the same in this stuation...or could this have extened window period. THanks...
First I had a confrence with her teachers and they suggested ADD. Then I took her to her pediatrician and he refered her to a Psychiatrist. I want her to be evaluated before I jump to medication or special classes. I was told that it could just be a learning disability. She has trouble remembering what she reads, but can remember when you read to her. Im also going to take her to a counselor. I thought that after getting an evaluation, that coaching and counseling might help.
Hi Maata,
As I haven;t seen your previous question I can't really add anything as to that regard. But as for testing a good indication as to your status is to test around the 6 week mark. However you would still need to test at the three month mark for a conclusive result.
Have you had antibody testing, c-peptide and insulin levels testing? This would be interesting to know, as possibly you are type 1 not type 2.
For insulin, bottom line is, you need to normalize blood sugars. When this cannot be done with oral meds and diet (seriously look into strict low carb eating if you are not already) and exercise (exercise decreases insulin resistance), and keeping weight on target, then it is time to add insulin.
I just got out of a 7 year relationship and we have been working on staying friends or possibly reconciling. I went for a yearly checkup and my doctor asked about std testing and i told him that I would like for him to test "everything." I received a call and to my surprise i tested positive for HSV2 on an IgG test with a 2.8. This was shocking.
When I was 5 mos pregnant, I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension and put on bedrest..I started taking aldomet for my blood pressure....as the mos went by, aldomet increased..I was taking 2000 mgs before I had my son....
My son's oxygen level dropped 3 times before I finally had a c-section due to fetal distress..I've wondered if aldomet could cause my son to have ADD......my son is 13 now..when he was in 3rd grade, his teacher told me she thought he had symptoms of ADD..
I also want to add that most doctors won't even test your blood for pregnancy unless you are extremely late or are getting positives at home and need assurance you're not going to miscarry (in the event you've experienced one or more in the past).
you know the answer to your question...move on...you do not have hiv.
HELLO does anyone know how acurate those rapid test are for hiv i had one done at the clinic it was a clearview test it took a drop of my blood from my finger and in 15 minutes it came back negative but it was a trainee doing the test he had gloves on but he ran out of the buffer drops they add in the blood and stopped to get a new bottle and continued are those test fool proof ???
Sorry forgot to add this. This test was apparently ordered as well but doesnt seem to have any results. Blood work was done 2 days ago. Any insight you can provide here would be appreciated! Thanks!
My 7 yr grandson has been diagnosed with ADD. He is taking Stratera. He has been for about 1yr. His dose is 25 mg a day. It helps with some things. His main problem is his mouth(back talking), irritates to point she cries his sister, just plain defies you some days, and cries at the drop of a hat(sometimes for no reason and others when not getting his way). His mom is almost to her breaking point with his behavior. They live with us. His mom and dad are divorced.
my niece who has a semilar problem with add is on prozac and it seems to be working well for her. i am not sure if she is on prozac and adderol or just prozac, but I was wondering if that would help in terms of the anxiety that these drugs sometimes cause me. any help is appreciated.
Certainly you exhibit some of the symptoms of ADD. You are also of an age that did not focus on girls in public schools who had ADD. All the attention tended to go to those hyper little boys. So its entirely possible that you were overlooked, specially if you had the intelligence to "get by".

Its for adults with ADHD, but a lot of it applies. Take a while to go through it.
