MVA sparked ADD?

[Hum]

This summer I was in a motor vehicle accident. I rolled my truck about 6 times, and while it was rolling I had hit my head on the window but it didnt break. I was a little concust, I vomited a couple times, but generally I still had my wits and astonishingly no signs of shock. No tests besides a urine sample was done.

Anyways I hadn't noticed it immediatly but in retrospec I've noticed my ability to concentrate has been terrible since then. Even within a few weeks after my "drive" at work had diminished greatly. I then returned to school in September and I dropped out mid october because I couldn't stay on task for any longer than 30 mins without zoning out. It seems like I need several distractions to concentrate on one thing. IE: Need to be listening to music, and drawing to focus on a lecuture, or I need to be eating in order to read. Emotion wise, I'm as content as ever. I'm just more restless than before.

I had previously been treated for ADD about 3 years ago. Could this accident have re-instated my ADD like symptoms?

Is there anything I can do besides meds to help with my ADD symptoms? Any particualar food, or suppliment out there that can help?

It's very possible that the accident caused some brain injury that didn't show up. My friend was in a bad car accident last year and we've noticed that once in awhile he'll forget what he was talking about. He seems to have suffered some short term memory loss. I really don't know if they can do anything or not. You might want to talk to your doctor and see what he says. Best wishes.

Maybe its a combination of the ADHD and a mild Traumatic Brain Injury from the accident.  A TBI is really the only way ADHD can occur later in life.
