I do not remember the exact name of the scan without doing some research. Does SPECT scan sound possible? That's what comes to mind at this time. As soon as I retrieve the exact name, I will post again.
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm trying to function without the Ritalin but at least I know I can fall back on it if I need to!!!
