ADHD and Fibromyalgia

[JazzElvis1]

Does anyone have both of these conditions and what meds have worked? I’m trying stimulants for the ADHD but since I started my spine feels sore and sensitive , so probably the meds , but I feel better in my head, more clear , up beat, and more motivated, so it’s a shame if I have to stop, has anyone tried the SNRI atomoxetine as maybe the next course of treatment if i have to come off the stimulants ? Thanks

yes. take pregabalin for fibromyalgia (150 mg BID) which I think came after depression/anxiety and insomnia. Arthritis does not help so I take Meloxicam for it. Venlafaxine for MDD. Also had a Spinal Cord stimulator device placed for pain as well. Personally as a jobless but genius lol RN research shows DHA/EPA (omega 3 supplement and vitamin D supplement and B supplements helps lot about to try Saffron. So used to being treated like it’s common, “everyone has a little ADD”, excuse me but NO. They don’t. Less than 10% people are diagnosed and I’m pretty damn sure it’s not crippled the “ADD” people like it does to us. How? Okay, I’ve had to use bathroom for hours and need water. Do I get up, No. mind is exhausted, can’t get up. Frozen I forget every little detail I’m needing to remember or someone asked me to remember. I don’t. I am unorganized but know where my stuff is in the piles. Graduated 3.89 gpa because I studied away from home, in my car. Slept there too, was then accused of cheating on my ex but he would not let me sleep. So I had to go sleep & study. Wish I never did. Only did to prove I could do whatever I wanted to. Yes. NOT Lazy. Not stupid Still can’t function without embarrassment of careless mistakes, not hearing verbal conversations ! If you are from Nigerian I’ll never understand a word from your mouth. Say What? What? It’sNot on purpose can’t understand what you’re fucking saying. Speak up! Wish I stayed home mom. Hyper focused an RN license but can’t remember anything but friggin coursework, no life work. Get my utilities turned off constantly. Now just feel useless and incapable of getting better. But yea, getting older, multiple conditions make it much worse. Kids need moms at home. Adverse childhood effects on both of us now. Sigh, I could’ve done better. Staying home would’ve been better for them.
