Very, Very Discouraged...

Morning, Friends...

I'm 60, have struggled w/ near life-long adhd.

Relocated to Alabama from the Chattanooga, Tennessee area almost two years ago.

I am still w/out my medication that my former physician provided me, as I've not been able to find any physicians/practitioners here in the Valley/Chambers county area that treat adult ADHD.

It's like the Twilight Zone. (!)

I'm severely handicapped, and these ADHD manifestations/symptoms are every bit as debilitating as the other medical issues I struggle with, daily.

I have contacted nearly every local Internist/Family-General Practitioner, Mental Health Agency, and have also addressed the Alabama State Medical Society, and our County Board of Health.

It is often very difficult for me to advocate for myself, as I am also statutorilly blind.

Anyone here, perhaps living in Alabama, have ANY suggestions/recommendations?

I'd be very grateful.

I only want my life back.

Thanks, all...

I agree with whoever said try and get meds via mail. I have a feeling you may have tried that. Im so sorry. It's so wrong.

You bet. Our Healthcare system is deplorable.

A shameful, reprehensible mess.

If I was able, I'd have emigrated to Canada many, many years ago.
