Attention Deficit Disorder is
something that is usually associated with children, but doctors have lately
accepted the idea that this can occur in adults also. The drugs
associated with this can improve concentration. It is not the cause of
CFS, but treating it can make CFS more tolerable.
Do you often find it very
difficult or even impossible to pay attention to those things you should pay
attention to? You may have the condition.
Traditionally the condition
has been treated with Ritalin, but there is a new drug named Strattera that is
not on schedule II. It may be easier to get a doctor to prescribe it.
