- When someone important to you has Alzheimers, they change. A lot. I guess all of us here know that. What I would like to know is, once they're not there any more, what do you remember? The good old days when everything was going well, or the more...
- HiMy mom is 82. Maybe 15 years ago she went to the GP with symptoms which the doc said could be Alzheimers; after a brain scan she was given the all clear. She reckons the all clear was for life. (She is generally in denial about medical...
- My BP/schizo-affective person needs supervision. She's a bit like a 12yo - I can leave her alone for the day (I work FT) but no longer. Initially I accepted responsibility for her meds, then the dr said she was so much better there is no reason...
- Hi GuysI've been looking for a support group for a while and I think this one is great! Read some old posts and stuff and the way people support each other is great.While I am a caregiver of sorts, I realise my "load" (not sure what word to use?) ...
- Hii was wondering if anyone keeps stats of the members of this group - how many kidney transplants, hearts, lungs, etc; and how long they've survived. Or was there a thread that I missed?
- I have a friend who has been diagnosed bipolar and schizo-affective - different doctors. the "label" makes no difference to me. i'm trying to understand what's happening to her. Her ex-husband was abusing her, so I invited her to come and stay...
- Looks like everybody is out shopping!
- Hi - just want to say that there are usually lots of things that cause addictions, and ADD may be one of them. I'm not trying to say I'm not responsible for my impulsive behaviour because I have ADD. in fact, I know I have low impulse control so i...
- I was told recently about someone who developed bath salts for her ADHD daughter. Initially the mother just added epsom salts to the bath, but the daughter started to see it as medicine and refused to bath in it, so being a mother, she made a plan,...
- I heard a story that bathing in Epsom salts helps to alleviate some of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. Is anyone in a position to confirm or deny this?
- I have probably been lucky, but when I started taking Ritalin it changed my life. My colleagues were amazed to see how much more work I managed to get through, as was I. So in my case it's a success story. The same goes for my son - he is at...
- I have a firend who is profoundly depressed. I have been trying to help her for some months just by being supportive, but nothing seems to help or change. She is no better as far as I can see; nothing I say or suggest seems to make a difference...
- HiI've been taking Ritalin for about 2 weeks (diagnosed maybe 2 years ago) and I'm interested in how other people use medication. I was told I can take it on weekends if I like but it's entirely up to me. What do other people do? Whether you're...
- Hi. I was diagnosed maybe 2 years ago but was unable to take medication for ADD until very recently. I was given ritalin which seems to be working well; however I am still figuring out the best dosage. I've been taking 10mg early in the morning,...
- Hi - on Sunday (day 13) I started to feel nauseous; vomited; had pain; went to the dr on Monday, who diagnosed a stomach bug (agter x-rays tp make sure there is no obstruction); symptoms are persisting though - also fever and diarrhoea - all of...
