Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't posted in a while. Anyway I went to a new psych doc for my bipolar and ended up with a new, and sadly fitting, diagnosis-- ADD. For years my docs all said that it was fibro fog, and watched me get worse and worse, with nothing to say except that I am depressed. Now I can see myself in this new dx. At first I could not, because I new jack about it. But I went to the library and did a buttload of reading. Now I can see how this ADD has affected me most of my life. One book I read even said that ADD that is not treated could lead to fibro!!!! It also talked about the fact that most ADDults are adrenaline junkies, working mostly the thrill of the upcoming deadline. What I mean is that I and other ADDers will procrastinate and basically be unable to function enough to get a task done until the deadline looms closer and the adrenaline starts punmping. Chronic stress will give you an adrenaline rush too. But ADDers will start to depend on the rushes, chronically. I have a hypothesis going in my head that fibromites may be a little familiar with these rushes, I mean at least most of us stay more busy than we can afford on those " good " days, only to have to rest the next day. I wonder if our miracle drug Lyrica might work with this adrenaline? i dont know... Loretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
