Coping with ADHD problems

Lilli never stood still as a child. She was full of life and excited about everything around her. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. She was my first baby, so I never thought about how a “normal” 5-year-old should act. He had been very lucky to be home with her since she was born and he had never thought of her as any different from any other child. Around this time, however, K-5 began. She started her freshman year at school full of excitement, ready to meet new people and conquer the world. As the year progressed, the teacher started sending notes home every night saying that she couldn’t sit still, couldn’t focus, was disruptive, etc. I was not happy, Lilli was not happy and Dad was not happy. So we struggled through the school year and decided to homeschool next year. When we started our school from home, I was able to realize and see what the teacher was referring to. She was very busy and active, but being at home we were able to do more active work instead of constantly sitting. However, I began to realize that she was still not fully retaining what we were learning because she was so busy and her brain was racing. After going to the doctor, he prescribed Ritalin. We immediately saw a change in the way he was able to sit and concentrate, but we also noticed that his quality of life was not what it had to be. She didn’t eat (and she was already very young) and it wasn’t really her. In fact, I liked his cheerful and nervous self (I guess he was so used to it). At the same time, we also discovered that she was having silent seizures. She was struggling more than we think. So here we went with more medicine. At that time, she was 7 years old and taking 7 different medications. As he got older, so did his seizures. I had several different types of seizures throughout the day and all night. This little life was miserable.

Finally, when I was 13, my best friend told me about an amazing product that was completely natural, without additives, and easy to use. He told me to give it a try and even bought my first box (in fact, he bought it because of other problems my other kids were having). We tested it for those particular issues and it really worked quickly and I was very excited. So I did more research and found that they had products that could help with ADD / ADHD and epilepsy. I was so excited. I ordered what I needed and put it to work. For the past two and a half years, he has been able to cut all but three of his medications, no longer has continuous seizures, no longer takes Ritalin, can focus on his school work, and is even playing basketball for our school. I never would have thought that she might have the ability to do what she has done. But I also know that she couldn’t have done anything without this product.

I was so surprised to see her. She will turn 16 in August and I am very proud of her. She is turning into an amazing young lady.
