Well, the problem is.. is that I also have Muscular Dystrophy, which weakens my basic motor skills, and especially thinking. I know when I was little, I used to like to jab (not literally), and annoy my grandma, like obsessively, especially when she was on the phone.

But, I have a hard time reading, literally reading words and having them sink in, I'm tried audiobooks on iTunes, tried having someone read it to me. I did tell my step-dad all this and he tells me that he sees that I only like reading things I'm interested in, on the computer, like technology, medical advances, and techy stuff. And.. I took the ADHD quiz and I got a 74.. I thought about taking it to my psychiatrist, but.. I was afraid, that since I'm already Bi-Polar I diagnosed, I thought she would think of me as only wanting the high and negative thoughts just ran through my mind of what could happend. "Oh, she could think I'm a drug seeker." OR.. whatever.

I honestly have and been hospitalized for abusing/trying to kill myself over Tramadol, and also abused Zoloft, and also Vicodin. I started taking Vicodin when Vioxx went off the market. Plus I had kidney stones, and now they found out that my scholosis has affected my rib cage, and my rib cage now rests on my pelvic bone causing a lot of chronic pain in the left side. So.. I dont know.. I have a appoitment with a neurologist in December, and maybe I should tell him this stuff. What do you think?

Thankss.
