are they giving you lots of iron and sub-lingual B-12 for the anemia. It really helps. Try the adhd quiz here. The others are useful too. Is there is a college near with a psych dept. they have all these psych students who need someone to practice on. You can be it. There used to be a "continuous performance test" on computer they can give you. They can also work on behavior.
Caffeine is a low dose short term (do either of your parents smoke - also an adhd self medication - but don't you do that) self medicating thing. I Went through college on a gallon or so of pepsi a day. It gave me back some control. Even took it to sleep. I heard of a school counselor who gave a students being evaluated a qt. of pepsi/coke to drink all through the day. If things were better in a any way, they were sent out for testing, if not no. Testing costs money.
Another thing - some believe that ADHDers are all retarded. And your're not retarded. That's why I was 40 years late in diagnosis. If you're intelligent it isn't there and even if it is, you can control it. Trouble is, add/adhd takes your control. There were times when I bumped into every door, wall, piece of furniture at home or in stores. It came and went and I couldn't do a thing about it.
