I would like to express how I greatly appreciate your help, for having taken the time to read my message and thank you with all my heart, for helping us share this important information:

Sincerely;

Colette Perron

My husband's testamonial:

I would like to share my personal experience with you;

I am 36 years old and less than a 5 months ago, I was diagnosed with ADD=Attention Deficiency Disorder. My whole life I had been staggering behind everyone, being laughed at, pushed around, mocked because I had a disorder that I was unaware of. I struggled through school, work and relationships believing that everyone else had found the way to live through life in the same way I was but, the only difference was that I didn’t get it. I couldn’t keep up.

Deep inside, I knew I wasn’t stupid or slow. With experience I knew the difference and that it wasn’t me. So, I continued the best that I could to go forward with this constant invisible wall that would push me back. Finally, some months ago, I was listening to CBC radio, because you cant get anything else in the bush!! And they were talking about the olympists and how some of them had this thing called ADD or ADHD. As they were talking away and explaining everything by interviewing some of the affected olympists, I found myself hearing my life’s description as I lived it year after year.

I called my wife and told her about it and we looked it up on the internet. I then found a site that explained step by step, all of the symptoms a person goes through from child hood, teenage years and finally adulthood.

That was me! On this web page, I was reading my entire life. Tears literally came down my face as I was reading through all of this because I had finally found what was going on with me and why I was having so much trouble in life.

Once I was diagnosed by a professional, I confronted this hurdle the same way I’ve always done it before, with both fists up. I wanted to know everything about this condition and how a person could help him or herself through it. I tried a medication called Stratera. It helped me tremendously mentally, but at the cost of many side effects. My heart was always racing, I couldn’t go to the bathroom right, couldn’t sleep and the effects were very un-equilibrated. One day, I was in control in full effects of the medication and the other, I felt nothing and my head was a mess again. I understood that this was due to my brain fighting against these medications. I was afraid from these and how the long term effect could damage my body, so I decided to try to go with a more natural approach. I bought supplements right left and center trying to find a combination that would give me back that feeling of calmness that Stratera did, but without success.

Finally, I found this site from this company that promoted this product that supposedly would give me what I was looking for. I tried it and was amazed at the results. They acted gentler and at a slower pace than the drugs but worked nonetheless. Since that day, I’ve received comments from members of my family and friends on how I looked so much more at peace. I can finally concentrate on one thing at a time, look at people in the eyes when talking to them without having my eyes waver, concentrate on what I am doing without my brain wondering off, fall asleep quickly and sleep through the whole night without waking up every hour. My thoughts are not racing anymore, are more organized and when ever I get hit with a stressful situation or an obstacle in my life, I don’t feel overwhelmed or drained. I feel happy and content which is something that I never truly felt until now. All of this with absolutely no side effects what so ever.

So, why am I doing this? Why am I taking time out of my life to bring you this information? I mean, there are thousands upon thousands of companies out there promoting wonder drugs and supplements that will supposedly help you cure all of our little problems, but will basically do nothing more than eat away at our wallets. I know, I’ve been there countless of times. From everything under the sun to weight loss products to health supplements that really never changed anything in my life besides make me poorer or fatter. I am doing this because I love to help people who need it. And due to my life changing experience I feel the need to let as many of you out there know about this so that you may live through a similar experience as I did. To finally be comfortable under ones skin, total calmness and contempt, to be in control of ones self and finally feel what everyone around us takes for granted everyday; a balanced neurological state of mind.

My personal experience have made me a true beleiver in these products, so much I have decided to become a distributor, for the sole purpose to help other people who have struggled like me. To be very honest there is barely any money to be made with this, it is pretty comparable to selling Avon. I have provided my personal email address below, If you are interested in getting more information or have any questions.

Take good care;

Martin Perron

well I was tested by a psychiatrist, I'm pretty sure it wasn't $3000 dollars, although I do have health insurance, and I didn't do copay either since i'm a minor and I live with my parents. But it didn't take 4 hours either, it was just a quick 20 minute survey and I was diagnosed.

I suggest you try to find another method in regards to being tested, because I dont think it's worth $3000 dollars, I would rather be ADD and not be treated than pay that much money.

maybe you should just seek some counseling, they know more about ADD/ADHD and they can help with any problems you have anyways, it could just be stress that you need to vent out.

good luck.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. My health insurance covers mental care so my out-of-pocket costs were just the copays for visits. Where did your husband get tested and did insurance cover anything?

The diagnosis was based on several parts. I took the DSM-IV, which is a series of True/False questions like, "I'd like to become a race car driver" and "My mother is a good person." It was done on paper on site and is used to diagnose a variety of mental health conditions. It think it was 500 questions long and took me a good 2-3 hours to finish. Is that what your husband took? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders

I had a "take home" questionnaire (Hawthorne test, I believe) about inattentiveness and hyperactivity. There was a version for work, home, and me. I submitted two version: the one my wife filled out about me and my self-assessment.

There was an on-site history evaluation and finally a computer test to measure my ability to pay attention.

I doubt any single test I took was $3,000, but altogether and with therapy and drug treatment, I can see how the costs can add up, especially without insurance (or even with, if it's not covered).

findingmyway... Oh, I have been there. I am also a Mom with two kiddos. I have been diagnosed with depresssion/anxiety and now ADD. I had some really, really horrible days with my first child when she was 2, 3 & 4 and in some ways felt a huge relief when she was able to be at school all day. Just to give us both a break.

You should be able to go to a psychologist you trust and be able to talk with them to get a diagnoses. I went through lots of testing, as it sounds like your husband did too. And it was expensive, I agree. But, I was also diagnosed a few years before that by going into my therapist and talking it over, filling out a few self-questinairres and just with talking about it with him - he was able to write up a referral for treatment/medication to a psychiatrist.

One thing that you may want to try to get under control is the yelling. It's only erroding your body physically and mentally wearing you down. The doc that did my extensive ADD testing said that sometimes people with ADD are like "Adrenaline addicts" - they use things to stimulate their brain because it's not stimulated enough (things like yelling, or anxiety, etc...)

Please go and talk with a professional. It's not a fun life living like this, you deserve better and so do your kids. I realized once I stopped yelling so much at home, that everyone seemed to calm down - I could see the calmness in my child's eyes. It was all so worth it.

Currently I am taking Adderall XR, but I also take Fish Oil supplements (Omega3's) that seem to help take the edge of my anxiety off. I also take a multivitamin and plenty of vitamin D because I live in an area where we don't get much sun during the winter and that definitely contributes to my depression. Also, Exersize is always a great way to get your body to slow down, focus, and just feel better about life in general. You need to take care of yourself, so you can be good to your kids. Hang in there and go talk to somebody.

hugs
