Hausa: That's just the way it goes. Had the same experience too, switched hospitals a couple times when I discovered the consultations were not leading anywhere. NB: You want to be sure though that the person you're connecting them with remembers several instances of how it has played out in you. Diagnosis is usually Very TIGHT, one wrong answer can bungle everything. You also want to be sure that the hospital you go to has perhaps treated someone for it before or has doctors who have solid knowledge of it, there are still several doctors out there that don't. The drugs are most often over 10k(...per month), like 12-15k. Technically you'll be spending a lot per month depending on your treatment methods & the service charges of the hospital. Probably said much, and there's a lot more guidance I may be able to help with, but can't type a lot here. You can send me a mail for further clarifications. I'll be glad to help with no commitments. I'm really sorry you've had to go through a lot emotionally, I highly recommend the community resources that has been shared previously, it usually does go a long way to help. Best wishes. 2 Likes |

Cchuks27: Hey brother, it's glad to hear you are able to have a good hang of it r/ADHD has also been an immensely beneficial resource for me, it really has made me feel less alone and helped me find the grace over some challenges I've had There's also this other telegram group of Nigerians with ADHD (I think /ADHDNG or /Adhdsuppng}, although, it's not 'everyday-active', but it has equally been helpful too Cchuks27: ...In my case though, I'm medicated...here in Nigeria Honestly though, it took me serious sweats, tears & blood to be able to get diagnosed and get treatment after about 7 months of seeking one My treatment has helped with attention majorly, it's not an absolute fix though, but that area got quite settled, I have to wrestle the others. Just thought I should add my 2cents to help others who may stumble on this. Cc : Hausa 1 Like |

Non-Verbal Learning Disability (NVLD) Ever met a person who talks too much & so well, yet, has challenges with achieving their goals or having their lives in order despite the fact that they aren't lazy? Chances are, they may be struggling with Non Verbal Learning Disability - NVLD (the most overlooked, misunderstood & underdiagnosed learning disability according to additudemag.com) Contrary to its name, people with Non Verbal Learning Disability actually appear to be very fluent and/or vocal from a tender age & throughout their lives, unfortunately that's what covers up their challenges & inefficiencies in virtually every other area Asides from being vocal, they barely have strength in other areas & may have to struggle : - To read social cues (or not even be aware enough to read them) - To coordinate both their internal body balance & the space/activities around their environments - To read clocks, maps, graphs, mathematics & various other technical stuff Some of the characteristics a person with NVLD may posses include : - Talking too much (which could annoy people) - Clumsiness (gross & fine motor skills challenges) - Eloquence/Verbal Smartness (they're verbally intelligent but have a knowledge application challenge) - An inclination to be phonetically accurate & have fine pronunciations - An ability to form/conjure new words that sound logical & interesting - A preference for engaging older people more than their peers - Being 'homebodies' (they prefer being indoor than exploring the world around them) -Inquisitiveness (These last three characteristics are aided even more now with the Internet) - Acting a bit immature and naive for their age & 'wisdom' - High chances of difficulties with driving NB : The intensity of some of these characteristics may become less obvious in adulthood NVLD is most often considered, likewise mistaken as one of the symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome (...which has now been classified under Autism Spectrum Disorder) or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder due to several similarities. However NVLD is best handled when identified as a distinct condition...(which could be a comorbidity in cases where there are clear signs of ASD or ADHD) rather than a symptom. Unlike other disorders that have been listed, people with NVLD act quite normal, in fact they are usually considered to be very bright as a result of their eloquence Thanks to this eloquence & their rote learning strengths, most of them manage to move through early school years fairly well Yet there's only so much these strengths can help with when they get to levels where they need to solve complex problems & apply their knowledge in new or specific situations It's usually at such points most people with NVLD (just as in the case of ADHD) increasingly get aware & sense something could be off about them, However, they barely get to figure out (a neuro-developmental disorder has plagued them all their lives) until they hit a dead-end, or can't seem to make the kind of progress that corresponds with their level of 'intelligence' no matter how hard they try When discovered early, NVLD can be managed with the required assistance & accommodations, however, like other developmental disorders, it's a chronic condition. PS : While NVLD is largely overlooked & underdiagnosed, this piece doesn't serve as a diagnostic tool, but rather for information purposes, it doesn't take responsibility for personal conclusions. It's important you make your extensive research & if promising, contact your health care provider https://www.neurodevelop.com/nvld https://www.ncld.org/news/the-lesser-known-learning-disability/ https://www.additudemag.com/maybe-its-not-add-after-all/ https://www.additudemag.com/what-is-nonverbal-learning-disorder-symptoms-and-diagnosis/ Chris Rock is the only famous person that has identified he has NVLD, despite that, the awareness is still really low 1 Share

TheSourcerer: Lol I'm not speaking as an affected person, just speaking on general grounds on how society's perception increases the burden If faith helps some people feel/live better with it, it's actually fine But as you've pointed, virtually (if not...) all deliverance/miracle claims have no strong evidence or replication to prove their potency Science has been the closest & biggest evidence and even with that, there are still several miles to cover PS : 'Victim' looks like a weak word for people who endure so much, I prolly typed fast & forgot to edit — fixed it 1 Like |

TheSourcerer: The brain (and extensively the human body) is an ultra delicate organ. And the fact that it's the powerhouse of functioning makes a little imbalance cause immense and varying differences. The unfortunate thing is, it's super complex too, So complex that despite so much ground breaking discoveries, scientists still haven't cracked Specific &/ Ultimate solutions to its problems... In 2022. There's still a whole lot of guess works around it. Now, Imagine a person being aware of his condition(s) & its limitations. ...and how these limitations weaken the effectiveness of his efforts or even nullifies it... regardless of the intensity he throws in. Life is uncertain already, but there's an additional fresh uncertainty to deal with now cos...(virtually all mental disorders are chronic). There are no specific & ultimate solutions yet, just a bunch of testings that if unlucky could complicate things further. It's no wonder virtually everyone in this trap are suicidal or battle suicidal thoughts — those that are aware & those that aren't. Unfortunately it's too hard for unaffected people to understand &/ create necessary accommodations to make things easier — The stigma, The disregard, The misconceptions makes things extra harder for people trying to figure out a fate they didn't create The ultimately funny thing however is: Anyone can be a victim ...at any point in their lives #EndTheStigma |

Sanmel: Sophiatheninth: Lol, If you're equally a forgetful person and you get easily distracted either during work or conversations... Then chances are it might be an underlying condition. Hard to say and hard to break it down. But these things when constantly experienced (despite conscious efforts against them) may point to a 'possibility' of Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (Do a brief Google search if that could help). Now, it's equally not easy to assume or chalk it up to this because everybody experiences these things from time to time and at various degrees, but when they occur too frequently and start affecting your daily life up to a point of concern then you may want to consider a medical evaluation. It's very important you make confirmations before having assumptions however. Because these things happen (as I earlier mentioned) to everybody from time to time and at various degrees; it makes it easy for it to get disregarded as an issue to be considered, and then people begin to tag you as lazy (as you've gotten to see through the thread). Meanwhile you work twice as hard than the average person to accomplish the same things they do. While my post may point you to a new direction, I'd implore that you filter the advices from the backlash on the thread. Some of them are actually helpful behavioural therapies (which though you may have to put double efforts to achieve) are actually very helpful. I like to call them over-compensations. Try to wake up way early even if it means by the time you'd be done and get to office you'd be over 1hour early. Do it to save yourself and to be effective while you consider the medical aspect of it (if you choose to - depending on the degree at which it affects your quality of life). By the way, if you can well relate to the post and you think you need more clarity or you're just interested in more information, Send an NL mail, we could have a good chat from there about it at no costs. Cheers. NB : This is not a medical advice. I'm not a medical practitioner or a psychologist, just happen to have good knowledge about the topic. Every action taken is at your own discretion.

Sanmel: Lol... For you to have to bring it to a social forum means you really must be bothered If you don't mind me asking... Asides being a perpetual latecomer, do you also consider yourself a very disorganised person? Do you get to do so many things you're not supposed to do (like unnecessary stuff) before setting out or you just kinda spend so much time on the activities you're supposed to do? These questions are a good place to start Cc : Sophiatheninth |

Perfectbeing: Me Before You That movie literally saved my life !!! OP's case is pretty complicated though Some of the people nailing him to the cross can't survive a quarter of what he has And most of them are just looking through his trauma What of the trauma of the old man who has spent not 3 weeks not 12 weeks not 36 weeks nor 52 weeks not even 100 weeks but a whopping 624 weeks being vegetative; not being able to improve/advance mentally & physically not being able to move much less hanging out and discussing with friends In 12 solid years A 12 year old girl today is most likely at puberty stage Who wants such life for himself? When he gets to recover, life can hardly remain the same Most prolonged cases of stroke I've had to hear of, either they die in it or they die shortly after recovery max max. 2 - 5 years (which of course the wasted years and severe pains and traumas counts for nothing) Well, I can only pray/wish that you (OP) get led in the right direction |

oxypressPlus: Thanks for the enlightenment chief Do you have a company's website? And address? It'd be helpful if you put that up on your profile and have these contact address on each posts you make, if you add pictures (of your facility and perhaps branded designs of your company) it increases credence too All these would really help and go a long way I believe Best of luck chief Udo 10againat30: By the way OP, seems as though you didn't keep on with your story I believe it'll go a long way in increasing awareness and helping people who may have similar cases discover it and then help them through it much better Cheers |

oxypressPlus: My bad if you aren't a CPA affiliate. But really... Why are all your posts spams of links of hyperbaric whatever? Are you aware that in the entire Nigeria, there's only one HBOT machine which just got acquired? (I may be wrong, but I'd like if you could prove me so). I ran a check on Google and discovered you've been running these ads/awareness for about a decade now. If you have actually helped people in the past with these, do you mind sharing results of this you made possible? My pain point is that most of the links you've been sharing with the spams are not so helpful with needed results (the reason I assumed you were an affiliate). Udo. 1 Like

oxypressPlus: Some of you CPA Affiliates Marketers can be really annoying though You go all up & down everywhere spamming with links without being empathetic I got to click some of the links and discovered that they were all were foreign links that we can't easily derive a tangible solution from This isn't how winning marketing is done! You'd easily lose trust than gaining interest this way Have a good understanding of the problem Be sure the solution you're providing is relevant and accesible to the problem at hand It's this simple! 1 Like |
