Hi , You don't actually mention what the symptoms you are talking about being on the ADD list are? that might help. Gleevec does seem to have some mental components to it.....like difficulty with word finding, memory, etc. That, in addition to all the life stress that you have had......could have a big impact on you. There are supposed to be some more definite ways to dx ADD I think.... so if you want an answer, I would have a consult with the ?? right kind of specialist. Dr. Phil has had several programs related to ADD and usually has a person on who has supposed written the best book on the issue (from a top facility).....maybe you would find that title on his website. Also, if you haven't, I would consider working briefly with a counselor who specializes in chronic diseases.......then discuss everything that has gone on in your life. You have had way more that your share to deal with.....and it is remarkable that you are able to work full-time. Best wishes to you, C.
