Living with it 2.0

By Chapter 750 Friday, May 14, 2010

I didn't mention (because I have always been hard on myself) that part of the reason that my ADHD is worse is that I am also more distracted by other disabilities such as my eyesight, chronic pain, and neuropathy. No I do not a progressive neurological disability.


I try to compensate by being mindful. But I have still piled up cuts and bruises from bumping into the furniture. Since increasing the Adderal from 20 mg QAM to an additonal 10 mg Q around 2:30 pm I am doing better on a total of 30 mg. I can now concentrate but my focus is indiscriminate that I get fixated on random things so I waste time a lot of time.

 

I have begun cleaning up some. Organizing is more difficult.

I can only imagine that physical disabilities and chronic pain would add immensely to your inattention. I know when I even have a migraine, I can't think or focus, never mind being in pain every day. I hope the doctors are able to find a way to relieve your pain.

 

I will be thinking of you.
