Well, in another installment of “I wish they’d told me that a long time ago”, it turns out that SSRI’s can contribute to hyponatremia, a potentially dangerous condition in which your body doesn’t have enough sodium to regulate the water in your cells. It is believed that SSRI’s might contribute to at least mild hyponatremia in [...] About six months ago I wrote here and at Well-Ordered about a very nasty shock I received at the dentist: a whopping SEVEN $#%^&@ING CAVITIES. Twice as many cavities as I’d had in my adult life thus far. All of them between my teeth. Getting those filled was no picnic, I assure [...] I haven’t been posting a lot lately. Partly this is because of the amount of time I’ve had to spend reading job listings, filling out applications, tweaking resumes, and trying to write cover letters that aren’t don’t sound like total BS. Partly, it’s because I’ve just been too depressed. I feel like if I write about [...] I have been informed that my diet does not contain enough fat. Seriously. I’m an American. Who doesn’t eat enough fat. Obviously I am a commie pinko traitor who hates all that we stand for in this country. I learned this after complaining to my physical therapist/trainer today that I’m gaining weight. I was frustrated, because [...] A few weeks back, a feature recently ran in the Shelby Star in which a reader wrote in asking about whether the Feingold Diet might work for her son’s ADHD. The columnist, John Rosemond, replied that while many mental health professionals believe that the diet is ineffective because of, you know, insufficient evidence. But, [...] A new study out of UC Davis has provided physical evidence for a “faulty brain connection” in children with ADHD. This is huge news. If the results of this study hold up to scientific scrutiny, this will mark the first time that direct evidence has been found for a neurological difference in those with ADHD. Until [...] I also wrote about this at Well-Ordered Chaos, but it’s REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT so I want to post it here too. An article in Science News reports that Adderall XR is very dangerous to cats. While most cats, most of the time, are pretty good at not poisoning themselves, there’s something about Adderall XR that they [...] I was reading ADDiva’s blog yesterday and came across a post about a new initiative called “Think Beyond the Label”, aimed at improving employers’ attitudes towards people with disabilities. According to the website, an organization called “Health and Disability Advocates” is running the campaign “on behalf of almost 25 states and various national and regional [...] Well, I’m back from France. It was awesome for all kinds of reasons. The food, the art, the food, the history, the architecture, the food … Now comes the difficult part. After two virtually structureless weeks, weeks in which I could go wherever my whimsy took me, weeks in which someone else cleaned my room [...] I’ve blogged before about the seasonal aspects of my ADD. Unsurprisingly, things have been even worse since the return to Standard Time (ptui!) and the loss of another hour of light in the afternoon. I’ve been more tried, more hungry, more spacey … and paradoxically, less able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. “Attention” [...] |
