Answer
Hi

I am afraid I don't know where you are from to be able to help too much straight away.  However I would suggest that you check out the Diagnostic Criteria on our main site at www.adders.org Information Section.

If you feel you fit the criteria then the best thing to do would be to contact a local support group - again on our main site at www.adders.org we have support group contact details for many countries so you should be able to find a group near you who would then be able to offer some advice as to where to go for an assessment.
