Katrina, I've never looked into ADD, but I was surprised to see that it is
linked to chronic fatigue in your case.  Is this common?  Over the last few
years I have noticed that my brain isn't as sharp as it used to be and I
don't (and don't want to) exert much effort to do anything (physical
activities, playing with the kids, etc.).  I had attributed it to my weight
problem getting worse and worse every year, but now I think that my weight
gain was just another symptom of diet related disease.
