Direction needed....
Not sure if I am in the right place or not. I suffered from Cerebral Hypoxia at child birth. I am in my mid thirties & have had a "normal" life except for issues related to my traumatic birth. I have always done poorly in school(some C's a lot of D's and some F's) & was diagnosed early with Dyslexia & a learning disability. I have a GED as well as a BA, so I guess I'm considered high functioning? My biggest problems have always been math and science, my problems are with comprehension primarily. My memory has always been pretty bad too, I have other issues including social problems.
I have never felt very smart & my current job is pushing me to the limits(outside sales). I felt that if I didn't address my short comings I would loose my job sooner rather than later. For whatever reason I decided that seeing somebody that specialized in ADD would be a good start. I have now been on multiple drugs for about 6 months & have had no improvement at all with any of my problems.
I keep just going along with my current doc (very well respected, nationally known add specialist) and his different medications. Guess you can say I'm kinda timid, since I have never asked this doc about who else I can see . Anyway, I am having a lot of problems deciphering what my next step should be because I feel like I have symptoms of so many different conditions. Maybe there isn't anything that can be done, I just don't know. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
