I'm glad the meds are working for your girls. Making that choice to go the medication route is a hard one, but stories like yours are wonderfully encouraging to hear!<br><br>DnWdrumsnwhistlesSat, 05 Aug 2006 05:42:21 -0000http://www.drumsnwhistles.com/2006/08/03/adhd-girls-diagnosis-and-treatment/#comment-3777794Two of my three daughters have ADD. I cannot tell you what a godsend medication has been. We tried behavior modification, diet, etic for a year with each of them before we went to meds. My youngest says "When I don't take my pill, I can't quit talking in my head, even when other people are talking." It allows them to focus for school, art, music, all sorts of things. To the parents who deny their children medication, would they deny their children insulin? Because I think it's really the same thing. One makes you physically ill, while the other whittles away your self esteem and self confidence.Lisa VFri, 04 Aug 2006 20:01:15 -0000
