Anyone out there like me?

[Live2love]

I have ADHD, PTSD, and panic disorder currently and hoping to heal from every single one :) any help, opinions and advice is very much appreciated! I feel like I need to go speak to a toxicologist and try to find a good toxicologist doctor along with a good neuro doctor because I think my underlying issues are related to me being poisoned for so long. :-(

That is the best place to start is with intuition. Go for it, see what they say.adhd and panic often go hand in hand, but ptsd often looks like adhd because it is akin to undiagnosed trauma. So those are great places to start as well.

Being poisoned sounds horrible trauma. I am sorry you have experienced this. it sounds terrible really.

*raising her hand*. ADD/ADHD, COSA (co-occurring neuro stimulating activity) of undetermined origin), brain stem injury, PTSD and alcoholism. I can say that I have functionally recovered in as much as possible from all of them. Diligence, learning management & coping skills, addressing the concrete medical issues combined with a shrink (who took on first my ADD then my PTSD)… and recovery programs for the booze.

I was in the lowest prognosis for recovery when I started here as a member (for the PTSD stuff) and was already dealing with other medical issues, recovery for substance use/abuse (alcohol) and the ADD stuff. But I'm asymptomatic at this time.

I might be able to give you some ideas (I'm not a doc but did tox related work) but I would need to understand what you mean by poisoned and by what. However perhaps that is too personal to post.

Not knowing your specifics I would say start general vs going to a bunch of specialists as they tend to operate in a "black box" and can miss the big picture. Not to mention there are a lot of folks willing to take your money and confirm you have all sorts of things or dismiss you because it does not fall within their expertise.


Good luck,
