ADHD Medication Shortages: Your Information Needed Today

January 10, 2012 By

Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) is a national non-profit organization providing education, advocacy and support for individuals with ADHD. Many of you may be very familiar with the current shortage of medications to treat ADHD. CHADD is working to get a better handle on the extent of the shortages and would like some information from you.

If you would take just a moment to answer a few questions about your personal experience with the availability of your medication, then CHADD will know much more about the extent of the problem, all the medications being affected, and the geographic distribution. It is important that CHADD hears from people who are not having problems as well as those who are. They need both sides of the picture.

Please go to the link below to learn more about how you can participate.

Brain Impact: Concussions, Chiropractic and New Laws

January 3, 2012 By
Chiro.Org Blog: On Oct. 23, 2011, San Diego Chargers offensive guard Kris Dielman suffered a concussion during a football game against the New York Jets with 12:31 left to play. He landed hard on the ground after a wicked collision with a Jets linebacker, then got up, wobbled and went back to playing the rest of the game, taking several more hits to the head. Neither the Chargers training staff nor the NFL referees recognized how serious his head injury was as he "waved off" his sideline training staff to return to the huddle. On the flight home to San Diego after the game, Dielman suffered a "grand mal" seizure and will most likely not play for the rest of the season.
