If I Only Had A Brain | ADHD Information
David,
Check out Dr. Amen's website. It has actual pictures of the brain with different types of ADHD activity.
http://www.brainplace.com/ If that doesn't work, just type brain spect imaging into google and click on the link that comes up.
and i thought we were the ones with problems!!!!guess you never know what it is like to walk in someone else's shoes.. eh?
ADDers rock! and i'll set your brain on fire if you say otherwise....
I say Amen to barb's post. Although Dr. Amen's work is still contreversial and even speclative, it MIGHT result in some helpful results . His books sound Very convincing and scientific but when his own people give conflicting results, it makes you wonder.

That's okay, though. They didn't believe Galileo when the Apple had worms, either...
Okay okay. Amen, therefore:
Newton had an apple fall on him.
Galileo discovered something, too.
Adam's Apple had something to do with it all.
Apple's get worms, and I'm an entomologist, also.
no-knADDs didn't believe any them to begin with, either.
That was so way out there I don't think I would'a got tit, either.
yeah - it still surprises me that the world isn't flat...sure LOOKS that way to me and how come all the blood isn't rushing to
brooklea's head if she is upside down all the time huh??? bloody lucky
she hasn't fallen off yet - that's all i can say.
got to give it to these aussies great sticking stamina or is it that they just
splash crazy glue all over their boots, i don't know.actually chjones, you are being northern hemisphere-centric!!
the world is really upside down..
australia is at the head of the world.. thats what my map shows

Hey chJonesy,
Didn't you know that they invented sticky notes?
They invented inversions, too.
They invented inventions, too.
We only vented.

which bit the ROFLFKJLFJRIFJROEIWLMAOFJLFEO or the other bit... ??? and
thanks auntie you can repeat anything you want of what i've said - why
you would want to is another matter!
"Hey chJonesy,

always thought their music was a bit bo**cks... mind you kinda difficult to
get all those minims and treble clefs right when you have to do 'em
upside down after all.
Chjones,
I just borrowed David's ROFLFKJLFJRIFJROEIWLMAOFJLFEO because I was too lazy to type all that. But that was exactly how I felt when I read your post. Your posts are definately worthy of repeating or borrowing so thanks very much for the offer.
why you are too kind!i feel like becoming very English all of a sudden.
i have realised that nobody understands a word i say most of the time
over here so i am learning to pronounce
"a boel a wah"
can you guess what that is? scroll down for answer
"a bottle of water"
haha i am learning American faster than i ever thought possible. you say
tomayto and i say tomahto... let's call the whole thing orrff.
i was gonna say a bowl of water....i was close..

You must be in the south, huh. We Yankees pronounce every syllable. Southerners, on the other hand, have such a soft, romantic sound to their speech.
I was gonna say
Abuela
YAY Brig! hahaha so i am almost there. now you have to tell me how youpronounce 'egg' --- because i was working on a film set the other day
and i went to the Kraft service truck where a lovely hispanic woman was
serving sandwiches and i asked for
'an egg sandwich'
'wa?'
'egg sandwich'
waaaa?
egg... egg... EGG! - oh forget it, i'll have the cheese panini thanks!
(that is totally true and verbatim - i'm not making it up btw) and i am still
trying to work out how you can say egg differently.
hey barb i'm in LA --- i don't know if that counts as south? its fairly
southern - Mexico next stop.
in england we say 'a bohtel of warhter' so i reckon if an LA-er came over
to the UK and asked for 'a boel a wah' - they would get as many blank
looks as i do here! so it's all cool.
chjones38620.9740856482i say egg....egg the e is almost like and a soundcool --- well thank you i'll let you know if it works next time.....
Shoot chJones! If you had said wharter, I'd have gotten it in a New York minute!
Yep! LA is south of NY!
aha! perhaps i should move eastward-ho. but then i'd miss all this lovelyweather and the coyotes hoooowwling.
ah well - another time perhaps. NY is probably best in freezing mid-
winter with snow everywhere (at least that is how i picture it in my mind).
you can move here to wisconsin and hear the coyotes howlingyou have coyotes in wisconsin????????? well i don't know why i find that
surprising but i do.
man, if i were a coyote i'd come down here to LA soak up the sunshine,
live the easy life etc. etc.
ya know i had never seen a coyote until about oh three/four days ago or
so --- they were a bit bigger and slightly different coloured than i
imagined. i guess i kinda imagined them more like a fox...
do you remember the roadrunner/wile coyote cartoons??? --- hahahaha
that kind of sneaky planning and evil glee (same reason why Mr Burns is
my favourite character in the Simpsons) just makes me laugh so much!
right - i'm off to bed too. c ya!chjones38620.9908564815L.A. is the latest addition to Latin America.

Chjones...you totally cracked me up!
DAVID I STILL HAVENT GOTTEN MY APPLE YET....AND I AM GETING FRUSTRATED THAT YOU ARE TAKING TOO LONG!!!
great idea chjones!!
man i wondered what was wrong.... i blame galileo, all his fault! typical
add-er only got half way there - sheesh, i better stand on my head right
now just to get myself oriented better.
ooooh! not so bad like that....
hey as long as the oceans don't start falling the wrong way and drownded
us europeans now.
do we ever flip? i mean after all why not?Hey, sabiduria,
Well, I'm not so subtle, but yeah, I believe I go where man has not gone before. Or, how did you put it, where many people never go. It's there, but... for quick summaries I use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADHD.
For the definitive statements on medicines, I use the manufacturer's supplemental label (supplemental b/c the actual bottle may have a slightly different one, and that is the legal document. The online documents are'nt legal, so to speak.
Personally, I don't put a lot of stock in individual studies, b/c so much bias can be introduced. I prefer reproducible and reproduced works on the matter. As the manufacturer's spend years and millions duplicating their research, I tend to trust their documents more.
That doesn't mean they didn't miss something, and they're quick enough to pull labeling if someone else points something out.
Labels are objective, where as marketing propaganda is quite emotional.
That's why I'm a salesman....
Davidornado38620.9026157407D2, I do research in areas of the web that many people never get to....I've been finding lots of med docs on recent studies...is this how you get your info?

yes we have coyotes, bears, fox, and a few have sighted cougars....its wildlife here. and plenty of deer, you have to watch night driving.
you are welcome to my adder house anytime and we can go on nature walks....dont worry they dont bother anyone, they are more scared of us then we are of them.
AMAZING --- i have seen deer here too, they come to try to eat my cousins tomatoes and garden in general. but a cougar, bear! and american-style fox (i wonder if they look different to London urban scavenging foxes).nature walks are super cool --- i wish i knew more about plants and things. i would like to know everything about plants and all. my aunt just went on a 'botanical tour' of Australia with a world expert in flora and fauna who is still working although she is 83!!!!! i think she is an ADD-er too, according to my aunt she only has two sets of clothes and she wears one set for one week regardless how stinky or filthy it gets (then sends it off to get washed) and then the other etc. etc. and in twenty years she has always only bothered with these clothes.... the rest of her head is completely taken up with plants/insects and their life-cycles etc. i think she sounds COOL.
and thanks brig for the invitation to Wisconsin --- you are so lovely!
(likewise is returned as long as i have a roof over my head in London then you are most very welcome to visit too if you ever make it over t'other side of the pond!!!)
Why no-knADDs behave the way they do:
Their brain's on fire...

well thanks for the invitation....you are too kind. if you ever make it here i have a lot of nice beautiful places to take you for a nature walk. wisconsin is hilly and beautiful especially in the fall!
We have a river runs through town, and it starts in the mountains (imagine that). Frequently we see wild life (other than that arrested at the sobriety checkpoints) lost in town.The most amazing thing we saw was a full grown mountain lion (a/b 300 lbs) sunning itself on the highway offramp grassy savanah like environment. Caused quite a stir!
OMG! I read "no such thang as England, purely an American invention! other way round i believe, my good sir. No, no such thing in England. Purely an American invention. Hey CJ,
Do you have coyotes in England?
glad to see you, d'o.
revolution - man, i blame the French entirely. always had it in for us, ya know. constantly causing chaos with our empire building. dmn frenchies!
now where are those other ex-colonists brookelea and sabina, eh? is everyone starting their own revolution now or what??
i want to start my revolution. i revolt. ???
How revolting! Please don't do that... It'll make me revolutionize the way I post....

Glad to see you, too, Miss Christine!
Wait 'til you see what I see! hehe. It's a Wow! (I diss covered a new blue planet). Maybe we can ship the french fries there.
Hey, why were the french so Anglo-tagonistic? I thought you were they. Something a/b a Hasty battle, or some such a clatter.
Hey, I thought Brookelea was an ex-consonant, not an ex-colonist...
BTW, re: my last postinthis thread: you are not revolting. I will join your revolt, if you wish. I like rebellions. They tend to be inADDerently satisfying...
chjones -
Just to let you know - coyotes aren't an "american invention" - we've got SO many more up here in Canader!! An bears and other smelly beasties big and small. More lately - they are running out of the US ever since they heard that Bush was opening up big oil fields in all the national parks there. Nutty nutty george! Bad curious George! ROFL! Makes me feel better every time I look next door for sure.
Anyway back on topic - we've got lots of coyotes around where I am - here in alberta. You can hear them yip all night during the spring and fall. We have groundhogs around and they are the coyote's favorite snack year round. They aren't scary though - unless you've got 3 year old kids or small pets. The coyotes are small compared to other beasties and a large dog could take on one or two. They travel in packs like hyenas though and you'd probably lose your dog if you sicked them on them.
Well that's off topic eh? LOL
- Glen
Oikay, I'll Admit
That there was and is and will continue to be an England. However, as for the other way round, my Dear Lady, I believe it was not only an American Invention, rather an American Revolution as well. For well, too, come to think of it...
If I only had a brain...
(Scarecrow)
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain
(Dorothy)
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
(Scarecrow)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain
Hey cj!
You may have hit on the answer in this last post!
Remember in ancient medicology, the mendicants used leaches to suck out the bad humors from their victims? How about we bleed our over-rated brains a bit and see what happens? Now of course, we can't use leaches, b/c they're gross, but shapeskeare should have a modern day suggestion. Then we could save those humors from one person and transfuse them to another, with opposite symptomology. We could make a party out of it, and use a lot of connected glassware and wires, and magnetism! Maybe we could set up a part of the ADDer House in the basement and do it...
I'll volunteer for the first tirade.
Dj
think y'self lucky you don't.brains are nothing but trouble, always bothering and fussing and fighting.... bleedin over-rated them brains are let me tell ya.
