Avatar n tn ADHD is very rare and is one of the most over diagnosed of all "syndromes" I would look at a more relaxed daycare before I ever put a child on drugs. Look up the side effects now and maybe read the feingold cookbook for hyperactive kids.
Avatar n tn I have a 6 1/2 yr old daughter. She is the middle of 3 girls, and always seems to run off of a motor...never ever stopping. This week we have gone over her reading homework at least 2 times every evening, and she took her test today on it, and got a D- I don't understand, and I don't want to just put her on meds for the rest of her childhood. I was wondering what everyone thought about the possibility of a food allergy?
Avatar n tn Prior to the evaluation, see if you can complete a standardized rating scale that can help to pinpoint the presence of a condition such as Asperger's. A well regarded scale of this sort is the GILLIAM ASPERGER'S DISORDER SCALE. The psychologist can score it and interpret it and then discuss it with you.
Avatar f tn Ferritin is a test for adults? O_o "Serum ferritin is the most accurate test indicating iron status within normal range as well as iron deficiency and excess. In a young growing child, who has got a very delicate balance between iron stores, requirement and supply, it is very essential to diagnose iron deficiency at a stage before it results in hypochromic microcytic anaemia." - Iron Deficient Children and Significance of Serum Ferritin.
Avatar f tn My son just started Kindergarten the end of August. His behavior problems are seriously coming to light now that he is in a more structured learning environment. He has been in childcare/preschool - but the struction & learning environment to this point has been relatively flexible. I am at my wits end, I have no idea what to do anymore.
Avatar f tn In addition, 10 patients on 4-AP significantly improved their rating on a neurologic function scale called the Expanded Disability Status Scale, or EDSS, while none of the patients taking a placebo improved their EDSS rating. Patients with more neurologic impairment and those more sensitive to heat were more likely to be helped by 4-AP.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know what the difference between the Crystalens HD500 diopter rating scale and that used for eyeglass prescriptions? I have the HD500s implanted beginning of March 2009 (L=24 R=25 according to the cards). The numbers just seem so extraordinarily high compared to the multifocal contacts (+2.5,+2.25) I wore before surgery. Is there a "conversion scale" so I can get an idea of how much correction really was applied? I have [too?
Avatar f tn I'm not privy to any scientific studies on the subject you have raised although I am sure they exist somewhere. So all I can offer here at this point is my own experience: I've had ADHD (predominantly inattentive type) since childhood, and BP2 since adolescence. Looking back from age 68 now, I would say that the ADHD has pretty well maintained the same level.
926067 tn?1245164945 I'm not sure what I am? I am going to a psychiatrist on a regular basis-almost a year now. I have been on several differnt depression meds & have had horrible withdrawal symptoms with some of the meds & such. I have also been diagnosed w/ADD. Currently I am taking Pristiq (50mg) and so far it is working now, after almost 4 weeks! i was almost ready to give up on it, too! I also take Adderall 20mg (2times a day) and feeling better.
Avatar f tn Thanks very much ladies! Alex, I'm sure my neuro must be using a form of it without actually doing the full exam since he has to put it on the special auth form for my DMD but he has never told me where I fall on the scale. Karen, thanks for sharing the article. That was definitely an interesting read. As part of the exam I had to do the timed 25 ft walk. Kind of depressing, isn't it? Karry, I remember those assessments that you had at the rehab hospital.

Avatar f tn Her favorite rating is PG-13 and T.V.-14. Her dream is to one day move to Hollywood and be in a PG-13 movie. Of course, when she turns eighteen. I wonder if this is a form of OCD also? It doesn't sound like it to me, but couldn't it be part of the anxiety? We are also this month going to try to get her put on Strattera for problems with concentration and other problems at school. I also read it is good for anxiety. Has anyone had any problems with this drug?

3104867 tn?1341426033 Nope, none of that. I tried to type a d and would type some other letter. I could talk fine. No other sypmtoms. I just could not make my fingers type the letters I wanted. WHILE LOOKING AT THE KEYS? I just did the Holmes and Rahe stress scale and I scored a 544 in the last two years. The last rating on the scale was 300+.... SO way high on the scale. I didn't realize really how much has gone on in the last 2 years until I wrote it al down.
Avatar n tn Dear Jevs2, Some centers will assign ratings to biopsy results of fine needle aspirations a scale from 1-5. One meaning inadequate cells to diagnose , two meaning benign (non-cancerous) to five meaning malignant (cancer cells found in the sample). A C4 rating is "suspicious" for malignancy, and more tissue is likely needed to be sure of what this is, it doesn't mean a definite diagnosis of cancer.
Avatar m tn still wetting the bed. Still urinary urgency (need to go every 10-15 minutes). Still burning upon urinating. Still depends. 12 days post op. Beware of stents...my urologist's description of what I would feel: it may burn a little upon urinating!!!
86819 tn?1378947492 You are welcome. I look forward to you turning the information you gain into "best answers" for the rest of us - yes, thanks for the "best answer' rating, it shows an answer can be helpful without being long or technical.
Avatar n tn Your son may well display ADHD, but it is important to arrange a thorough evaluation and not rush too quickly to the diagnosis. The on-line surveys can be useful tools to see if a person might display symptoms typical of ADHD, but a thorough assessment will consider a child's medical history, family history, current functioning at home and in school, possible alternative explanations for the symptoms identified on the surveys, etc.
Avatar n tn She has said that she is puzzled by him, not sure if he should repeat K or go on to 1st. She did mention the Connor Rating Scale. I myself have witnessed this when I asked him why he didn't do his work with his group and said he liked to watch what everyone else was doing. Not sure where to turn, I think another year of K might leave him bored. He enjoys school and I don't want to take that away. I think it would be harder to keep his attention if he has already done the work.
