You know, dyslexia can be corrected for about $3,000 and you will rank amongst those relative few who have mastered this material world as a 2-D and 3-D thinker. I wouldn't trash the gift you have to prescription drugs. As the surgeon general confessed in a national interview, "all drugs have a side effect".

Check the library for "The Gift of Dyslexia". It's an easy read and you will find yourself in there. I'm the mother of a grown dyslexic daughter, she felt the book was talking to her. As well, turns out that my partner went to the workshop tagging along with me and he had quite a few symptoms himself. He started doing the exercises in the book and fully supports their methodology. I have no affiliation with DDAI but the program was developed by a dyslexic man who was an engineer but wanted full control over his reading and comprehension ability.

While you're at the library, check out "Gabby's Wordspeller & Phonetic Dictionary" that is now being used by dyslexic organizations and their directors. And...geez...be the envy of 75% of those other people who will never be able to do what you are capable of doing! smile!

I found a good site: http://www.akrongeneral.org/portal/page?_pageid=153,146423&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

Copy past this.

I was reading the long list of symptoms. A few matched my aging life. I am 65 and I forget and suffer some depression. My doctors and I feel it is my age and the 34 hour on the book I am writting.

Since I cannot work, I have lost some of my controls. Do not need them any more.

Take care and get a second opinion.
