fms/cfs linked to add/adhd?

[Guest guest]

hi folks:

i'm a new member, and i have been studying the relationship

between auto-immune disorders and attention deficit disorder

(add/adhd). i believe that cfs/fms is related to the type of attention

deficit called adhd-pi (primarily inattentive). along those lines, i

have the following questions:

1. has anyone here been diagnosed with adhd? how about

blood relatives? what about bipolar, tourettes,

obsessive-compulsive disorders?

2. has anyone tried stimulant medication (ritalin or adderall) to

treat symptoms of cfs/fms? i've been told by several people with

fms/cfs that adderall has been the most effective medication for

treating their symptoms (especially in lifting the " brain fog " ) - it

works better than elavil, prozac, etc.

thanks
