It took me 34 years to get a physician to diagnose me with ADHD/ADD.  Several doctors I went to in the past kept diagnosing me with Depression and forced upon me drugs that would keep me zombified...I finally told the last physician that he could stick his lousy diagnosis you know where!&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;It would be another 3 years before I went to another physician about my problems...&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;The right doctor came along and explained to me that I'm a lazy person with a hyperactive brain..&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;but, because I live in Jefferson County Missouri, people look at my address and assume that I am looking for meth ingredients...L..O..F'n..L...&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;Adderall helps me a little, but I'm not speeding around and often, I forget to make appointments to refill my adderall...&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;Its not so easy getting an ADHD diagnosis around here, if you're a parent of a child and you bring up the subject of ADHD testing, the physicians around here suspect you want the drug for yourself...&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;have fun&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;kT&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JeRRTep</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:31:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Happy Blogiversary To Me</title><link>http://www.ambulancedriverfiles.com/2008/12/23/happy-blogiversary-to-me-2/#comment-20524761</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Congratulations, A.D.

That's wonderful.  I've been reading your blog for perhaps a year and a half now and it's on my Must Read list daily.   &amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;Sometimes I've laughed so hard, I've cried.  Other times I've cried and felt the pain you shared with us all.  &amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;You've definitely got a gift of storytelling, making us come back for more and that's rare to find these days.  May your inspiration keep you going because really good stories are hard to find and greatly appreciated. &amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;Thanks for deciding to do this blog - it's one of the best I've seen.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TheRedHead Who Reads</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 24 Dec 2008 02:52:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Happy Blogiversary To Me</title><link>http://www.ambulancedriverfiles.com/2008/12/23/happy-blogiversary-to-me-2/#comment-20524751</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Happy anniversary AD, and here's to many more. &amp;lt; /&amp;gt;bob&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">njmedic1485</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 24 Dec 2008 01:19:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Happy Blogiversary To Me</title><link>http://www.ambulancedriverfiles.com/2008/12/23/happy-blogiversary-to-me-2/#comment-20524750</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you for what you've given us!

Both of said offspring know how to behave in ALL social situations.  Their tolerance for those who use their 'diagnoses' as a behavioral carte blanc is as non-extant as their father's.&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;I'm not quite so articulate as to use the term 'hickory deprivation'.  I simply refer to ADHDNAW as the obvious diagnosis.  Translated?  He/she may have ADHD, but definitely Needs Ass Whoopin.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">bigdaddyb</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:34:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Happy Blogiversary To Me</title><link>http://www.ambulancedriverfiles.com/2008/12/23/happy-blogiversary-to-me-2/#comment-20524743</link><description>&lt;p&gt;As a wee little blogger of only one and a half years... (cripes am I really only six months behind you?? Doesn't seem possible) I've been addicted to your wit, humor, and absolute disregard for the so called conventions of writing since the start. &amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;You know you're one of my blog idols, AD. Totally aside from me wanting to kidnap you for a month and hole up in a cabin to write together, any time you have something to tell us... I'm listening.&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;And in the vein of reporting capchas... mine is stophor.&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;I think your blog just called me a whore....&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Farmgirl</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:07:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Happy Blogiversary To Me</title><link>http://www.ambulancedriverfiles.com/2008/12/23/happy-blogiversary-to-me-2/#comment-20524742</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Congrats AD&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;You are a great writer and I really enjoy reading them all.&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /&amp;gt;Awhile back you promised us another 3-part post with 2 of your fellow bloggers.
