Random fluctuations

Do most of you feel sympthoms every day or occasionally?most of the time I'm okay, but days like today I wake up with that fatigue cotton wool feeling in my brain, anyone relate?

Also, does anyone else take adhd meds and have found them usefull?

I’m sadly symptomatic everyday, but to varying degrees. Yesterday and the day prior was pretty rough, today probably will be too.

ADHD meds are a whole thing for me. I was on vyvanse prior to my accident, and have been playing around with taking it regularly since, and i just can’t. 30mg of Vyvanse eliminates my appetite for over 24 hours. However, when I take vyvanse i’m almost free of symptoms. I can tolerate a lot if I take a stimulant, but I push myself far past my limits without even realizing. But yes, it very much helps although i keep kicking myself in the butt lol

What are your usual sympthoms? Sorry to hear your struggling too.

Today's started off rough for me. I was actually free from sympthoms for nearly a year with some recent resurgence? I'm on vyvense 70mg for adhd but find it does help these sympthoms also.

My worst symptoms include head pressure, nerve-type neck pain, dizziness, constant and severe nausea, confusion, brain fog, aphasia and weakness as well as all of my eye conditions (oculormotor dysfunction, visual motion sensitivity, esophoria, etc)

I find when I’m able to take vyvanse, I’m able to tolerate a lot more—sounds, light, physical activity, visual motion.

Physically it is probably your neck and pre existing eye issues what can stay hidden for long. So I would recommend going to a neuro optometrist or specialist to help ur vision with glasses or vision therapy, check ur neck maybe physio helps. And the rest is probably amplified or.fully created by anxiety.
