Maybe add??? | ADHD Information
I have a question...I have read all the signs and symptoms of adult add and I do have a few of them but i'm not sure just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms...I'm always tired...I feel like I can never get anything done..I'm a MAJOR procrastinator...No motivation to do things (although I am in college getting my nursing degree).But my main thing is I am always really, really tired..And my body will feel achy like I'm just through for the day ya know?..Also I didn't graduate high school had no initiative to go and noone made me go so basically I didn't...I'm never hyper or anything really and am not any more moody than the next person but I do feel like things just aren't right like there is air in my head or something..lol...Thanks for any help....KellyPerhaps you should check out Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome:http://www.cfids.org/about-cfids/symptoms.asp
many of the symptoms are very similar to ADD, but include fatigue, as well as body aches and pains. Let us know what you think.

Hi Kelly,
I'm also a nursing student and I just started taking ritalin for my (primarily) "innattentive" add about a month ago and I noticed an increase in my concentration level. I was having such a hard time. How are you doing in this program with all of these symptoms? That has to be tough, I know it's VERY tough for me! Nursing requires ALOT of concetration and determination and right now I have a D in the course but I think I did real well on this last test so I'll find out tomorrow, and I can't wait. I KNOW i have add, but my ego wouldn't let me accept it for a long time. 
I FINALLY started meds!
Ditzychick,
I'm actually believe it or not doing pretty good in the courses..but I just stay so tired all the time that I lose focus easily...I'm a cramer(sp?)..I wait till the last minute to study..Overall though i'm doing pretty good..Thanks for the input my husbands insurance takes affect in May and I'm gonna go see a doc..But would I see a psych. for these symptoms or my primary doc..?
Thanks again,
Kelly
