I was diagnosed with ADHD 1 & 1/2 yrs ago at age 63 - I lost my job 3 months later -and then, immediately lost my medical insurance. I had to abruptly stop my ADHD med. I have multiple medical problems and had to go to a doctor in order to get my prescriptions- I could afford the generic forms of most of my meds but not the ADHD med- The doctor wanted me to have blood work which I could not afford - I've had quite a few problems that could not be treated - For example I was supposed to have a mammogram and bone scan a year ago - could not afford -colonscopy - could not afford. I've been a nurse for 40 years helping people and saving lives but cannot get help for myself. Thankfully - I will be going on Medicare Oct. 1 - I can only hope that some of the problems have were not made more serious because I've had to wait for medical care. In addition, I felt I needed a therapist to deal with the adhd - and had to wait all this time. Sue A
