I've just heard that Cherie and Tony Blair have given birth to a baby boy!! I'm so happy for them!!
> Dear Janice, I managed to get a copy of this book. I am definitely a women with ADD and hypo-activity. I fitted the description exactly. I am unable to filter stimuli and I feel bombarded with sounds,lights,images,and thoughts the whole day.I too have reacted by paring all aspects of my life down to the barest minimum just to be able to cope.I am also in a "toxic help" relationship with my husband who needs to control.
> The Ritalin is helping but I know I'm just at the beginning of the process of recovering and I will have to learn a whole new set of behaviours and new ways of looking at things.
> What I wanted to say was that any woman that has been suffering from fatigue and depression and has been resistant to nomal AD treatment should read this book by Sheri Solden. It should also be required reading for all pdocs. as I'm sure many women with ADD and hypo-activity are just undiagnosed.
> Thank you Janice for indicating the right direction. I shall be grateful to you and all Psycho-babblers and Dr. Bob for the rest of my life. Love Jan.
