Hello! I had a quick question for everyone.

Anyone have or feel they might have ADHD? I read a few articles lately where those medications for ADHD assisted those with CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia. And most with these illnesses also passed criteria for having ADHD. Love to hear all opinions!

Hi cfs_warrior4

Thank You for posting - there has been some research that people with certain conditions have more prevalence of ADHD but how large the sample study is I haven't read. I think this is initial studies and would think more research may need to be done.

It might be interesting at some point to do a poll on mental health conditions alongside chronic illness and relationship between pre existing conditions and what might be caused due to a chronic illness diagnosis.

Emma :)
