I was busy cleaning and Asher was eating in his high chair when I looked and saw this….
I told you all about my decision to finally go to the doctor and take care of myself…
Well I did it. My doctor agreed with me that my symptoms seem very much like Adult Attention Deficit Disorder. She prescribed be Strattera, rather than one of the controlled substances(per my request) so that I a) won’t have to worry about habit forming medications, b) won’t have to worry about work drug screenings.
While the medication has only been in my system for 4 days, I feel better already. It most certainly is partly placebo effect, but whatever it is, I am happy to have finally done something about it.
I am dedicated to being a better person–at home and at work, and this is my first step in that direction.
I feel like I can think clearly without my all too common cloud of thoughts bouncing around. I hope this works. I really do…
Godspeed, Friends

When I was a kid my dad gave me this plaque that he had gotten as an award from work… On it was a quote from Teddy Rosevelt that read:
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly…who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at thebest knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat.”
Some days I’d like to send this to every one of my stuck up, conceited, jackass coworkers.

- it is a bad sign when our supply cab at the hospital is out of bvms…. #
We found you slumped over in the arms of a town cop, some 15 miles from our station at the very edge of our coverage area. Your car had left your interstate lane, crossed the median, the oncoming lane, and made it 200 feet into a field/slough/mud pit after taking out two fences.
The journey to your stopping point feels like a trek in itself… in the end the insides of my front pockets are wet… and everything under them. Water sloshes out of the top of my “waterproof” boots(not useful when water comes from above)…
As I approach your rust bucket I smell the alcohol from 10 feet away. Your car has remarkably little damage–but I’m sure that having gone through a soft mucky mess is the reason why. The small town cop who grips your head in a vain attempt at C-Spine keeps saying that your airway is in trouble–a small town EMT, I take his word for it and say we need to do a rapid extrication. As the Firefighters arrive we pull you out, into the cold mud and puddles onto a longboard.
As I attack your arm with a 16g needle my partner directs ventilations while calling for RSI orders. You are limp and have frequent apneic spells–yet no sign of injury.
We manage to tube you, package you and start to move you as the blades from the incoming helicopter start to stir up fresh mud and weeds.
Off you go while we’re left waist deep in mud, sweat, and smelling like a slough some 12 hours later…
Obviously I have been absent from posting here at medicthree.com. Part of this has been due to my efforts over at rootmedic.net, but mostly it has been due to a gamut of things… For a long time I have suffered from anxiety and some depressive tendencies. I have tried various PPI’s over the years with limited help. Mostly I suffered from the side effects rather than benefited from them.
For a long time I have gone med free and it has just proven too much. Every day I wake up tired, unfocused, with a cloudy mind. I am easily irritable, easily frustrated, and easily overwhelmed. While I am fully capable of doing my job–I feel that I am not doing it at 100%. I lose my train of thought and often can’t pay attention during classes or training.
I think I have Adult Attention Deficit Disorder. In the morning I am going to call my doctor to meet. Obviously I am not qualified to self diagnose… But I do know how to recognize these symptoms. I do know that prior attempts with common medications resulted in a more complicated set of symptoms. I do know that I am sick of doing nothing.
It is hard for me to say this, because I think ADD in children is grossly over diagnosed. It is often an excuse for parents who cannot reign their children in. While legitimate cases exist, it is often used when good parenting is all that is needed.
Another frustrating part is that Doctors are often inclined to just diagnose anxiety or depression for these symptoms. I don’t think that is the sum of my problems, but more an element of my symptoms. This is just my thought though, so I will only “guide” my doctor so much…
So wish me luck. I miss writing here, but I just haven’t had the energy. I am hoping to figure something out and admitting that something is going on is the first step, right? After being tested for Celiac, food allergies, and the like, I can only assume my intestinal problems are psychologically related as there seems to be no medical cause. Because of this I have to do something now.
I want to be well and I want to be a good father. I don’t want to be one of those people who have an excuse for why they aren’t well. I just want to be well.
- Ugh. 1 step forward….. 3 steps back #
