The numbers are the ICD-9 codes used for billing.

maybe you can read the 5 page report for me...it makes no sense. I had to make an appointment to have it explained to me.

[myolite]

I'd be glad to.

Sounds like she just needs help in math?

[myolite]

It's somewhat common with those with ADD--the focus that math requires is a bit too much.

Sherry sherry sherry... who gave you this test?
Who ever heard of a "math disorder"? If you need tutoring or something, I can help you, or I'm sure someone can help you.

I really have to frown on the pharmaceutical situation these days.

It was an Actual test I swear...as a matter of fact it took 8 hrs to take. It was given to me by a psychology professor at the mental health place...and another psychologist asked me questions about my life. I went because I struggle in school and always have, the goal was to see if I had any learning disabilities. The math I always knew was a problem. The ADD though, that has a R/O in front of it meaning Rule out...So they say that I could possibly have it but it is unsure due to my Depression. It is stated that if the depression goes away so might the ADD.

Well if you're happy then that's all that matters obviously.

I dunno. ADD is another one. There just seems to be a disorder for everything, and a drug to go along with it. I hate to see you get caught up in this.

Depression is clearly another story though.

PS. ADD is a math term by the way.... hmmm... :)
