Can it still have an adverse affect on you as an adult?

it depends on how much mercury youve been exposed to. if it was a lot, then yes, you may possibly have long-term affects. go see your doctor if you are unsure. i hope you are OK.\nGOOD LUCK!!!

Well, My boyfriend and I smoke weed everyday and it has not effected us in a bad way at all, other than spending some of our weekly "extra" cash, it doesn't drain out pockets. We have a flourishing relationship, our bills are paid, my daughter is doing well in pre-school, and NO she is not around when we smoke, she is sleeping or away and we smoke in a designated spot in the house. I think it all depends on the psychological state of that person, and not on the drug itself. I think if you enjoy smoking, thats fine, some people enjoy a glass of wine after work, whats the difference? As long as it does not effect your finances or social life, have fun while you are young and can afford to do these things.

It sounds like you have to get it checked out. Hopefully it won't be as bad as when you were a kid.

You never grow out of it.  It is a neurological disorder and it never goes away.  The symptoms might get less and less with age.

No, it is not inevitable. However, it is possible. And, sorry, but just because you try to take care of yourself... that doesn't mean that you will be healthy later in life. It will make you stay healthier much longer than if you neglected your health, but genetics and other factors will influence your health, as well. Don't worry too much... I'm sure that you will find a way to have your needs met no matter what lies in store for you healthwise. The best way to ensure that is to prepare yourself financially for old age.

I am being put through hell by my not soon enough to be "X". No one cared, I was give the run around, my husband took  my daughter and with some help brain washed lies into her head about me. I could get no help then in 2003 and am still being done dirty. The stress was so bad it pulled muscles from bones. I could not eat or sleep I lost a lot of weight and it frightened nearly all who saw me to death. So the answer is yes it can and will nearly kill you. I am now stuck with a vindictive sister who just asked me what is wrong. If I tell her I will be told what a dumb ass I ma for loving my child or wanting to help her. It is to long and complicated to tell here. Vicatin did NOT help the pain I suffered with and I did not go back to the hospital for the morphin the Dr. said would work if the Vicatin didn't.

It does sometimes affect the rest of the body but it is unusual.  It sounds like you are one of the unlucky ones

I am  a 32 year old woman, I was recently diagnosed with adult add, I tried those drugs and had to stop. they are the same as speed. not good. the side effects are terrible and i went into severe depression when i stopped.(withdraw). I cannot believe parents would actually give their children speed intentionally

Could be. Then it could be a number of things like stress. You'll be surprised what being stressed can do to you.

at the end of the day an adult with learning disabilities has freedom of choice just like you or i, you can advise if you think somthing is dangerous or you can ensure for instance obsticles which may harm or cause accidents are removed, but an adult living on their own with limited care is responsible for themslves, \nsay in day care ther are rules and regs there are adults with severe disabilities that cant be left and those that are less severe that can and should be encouraged to look after themslves

yes..having it in the family definitely increases the risk. Usual symptoms include, excessive weight gain (or loss), lack of appetite, frequent urination...a few others. I would make a doctors appointment right away...they will know for sure. Good luck

I have adult ADD.  I wasn't diagnosed until I was about 22.  I never had problems in elementary or high school with schoolwork.  I was always busy with after-school activities, which made me happy.  I had problems with depression at about 16, which lasted until about 21...  I have a lot of self-esteem issues, problems with outbursts of anger, problems dealing with frustration and anger.  I forget details, so I have to try very, very hard to keep track of important things.  I miss appointments, I lose important things, I sometimes say stupid things without thinking.  I think the thing I have the biggest problem with is self-esteem, though.  I can't blame it on anyone else, because I give myself the most grief for making mistakes.  I find that real life in much, much harder than school was.
