Link between Chronic Fatique, Fibromyalgia, and ADHD?
Hi. I have CFS and ADHD. I take short acting Methylphenidate, and it helps a lot. I don't know anything about a link between CFS, FM, and ADHD, but I do know that "fibro fog" is a part of the CFS/FM symptom complex. My ADHD symptoms have been present since early elementary school; the chronic fatigue symptoms started at puberty. I lived with it for years, undiagnosed, and then became incapacitated as as an adult, following a traumatic life event. I'm much better now, but these disorders are so very hard to live with. I see a rheumatologist who specializes in CFS and FM. He is very understanding. The only advice I can give you is to be kind to your body, and know your limitations. Have Peapod deliver your groceries when you're too sick to do it yourself, or ask a friend to help you out during these times. Also, I have learned to shop more frequently, so I don't have so many bags to carry at once. Best wishes to you.
