Patient discussion about short.

Q. What really constitutes ADD? Don't all kids have short attention spans because they are curious? What I'm saying is. I'm a very curious fellow, so, therefore, I cannot hold my attention to one thing for more than a minute. Does this mean I have ADD?

A. i see your point, i myself is a curious guy myself and couldn't stay focus on anything said in class if it didn't fascinated me. but i actually think i have a slight ADD, maybe you are too :) .
and apparently not everyone are like us, most people can focus if they want too. don't get mixed up ADD exist, can be diagnosed and has an affect on life.

Q. One of my uncle is recovering from the flu and lower back pain. The flu was short... One of my uncle is recovering from the flu and lower back pain. The flu was short lived - this past saturday and super bowl sunday. He felt much better on Monday and worked half a day. Monday night the pain in his back started and he thought he must have twisted wrong somehow. He took a hot bath and went to bed. The next morning, He couldn't move. He immediately went to the doctor. The doctor was a bit puzzled by the pain, but not surpised by it, because of the flu. He said there is definitely a correlation. He was completely debilitated for one entire day, laying on the floor in each room of his house. He was given an inflamatory pill and a muscle relaxer. One day later, today, He is 25% better, which tells him that its a virus and not because he pulled something. He can walk a bit without pain and know tomorrow will be even better. To all who have this problem - Hang in there! and please help!

A. Hey good luck, don't even bother going to the doctor about the back pain because my family has had the flu going around for 2 months now and I think 6 people have had it so far an they all have had the exact same back pain you are talking about and then their stomach starts hurting and they get alot better with in a week later and they are fine so if you can do as much resting as possible.

Q. How tall(short) do you have to be to be considered a midget? How can you tell if a child/teen is just short or if they have stunted growth or something like that? When should you be worried? And if their growth is stunted, will this cause them any health problems later on in life?
