I hate my body!

[wolfrose]

I HURT! Every part of my body hurts right now but I'm also having these traveling spasms of intense pain that just incapacitate me. Brain fog is horrible, just writing this is challenging and I'm really nauseous, not able to eat much, even watermelon is making me ill.

THIS SUX!

My parents had a solution to my ADD. It was called running track and field, coupled with a wooden spoon. Their solution to my dyslexia and poor handwriting was to have me copy entire books 100% accurately onto paper. If I screwed up I 1) had to do the entire chapter over again, and 2) if my handwriting wasn't legible (keep in mind the issue here was legible, not 'perfect') I had to do the entire chapter over again.

So between running my ass off and burning all that extra hyperactivity, being forced to focus (on the books for copying) and being sharply disciplined when I didn't, all of those problems went away.

Go figure eh? I surely have my fair share of problems, but ADD, dyslexia, and poor grades haven't been one of them since the summer of 4th grade when my parents started making me do all that stuff rather than medicating me.

I hear you on the junkies. I have no problem reporting people for fraud. Generally kids are terrible liars and if asked by someone being nice to them if they take any pills and how they feel when they take them etc etc it would come to light they aren't on the medication (assuming it's not the sort of thing that could easily be shown on bloodwork).
