cronic pain and Audhd

Ma.ra.

Hi everyone,

I’m living with chronic pain and was recently diagnosed with AudHD. Lately it’s been hard to stay active and keep my mood up, and I’m hoping to connect with others who understand what it’s like to live with AudHD and chronic pain.

I’d really appreciate any advice, tips, or even just the chance to chat with people who get it. I’m happy to listen or join discussions at my own pace — I don’t need to talk a lot.

Thank you for any support or guidance you can offer!

    I agree with how it is difficult to keep your mood up and I think because things are constant that it leads to self doubt, for example whats real, whether its imagined,, how bad it is or isnt, why others dont seem to experience things like you do. In my case I am not sure sometimes what pain I feel, similar to my uncertainty with emotions really although thats completely different. I dont really have any coping strategies.  Is it an option for you to discuss Pain Clinics with your doctor?

  • Hi, I've had a couple years where pain has featured more .  I've always had a weird sensation pain with my legs and now I have OA whenever I've bought it up at the GP its now put down to that. So kind of lived with that.  A couple of years ago my stomach ended up in my chest cavity, and from there  I have (?post operative) Gastroparesis which has given great pain particularlybefore the 'correcting' op and in flare ups. With GP opiods etc are no good as they make the GP worse.  I think that sometimes I cant describe the pain or appreciate the level of pain so in the past have over done things. I think sometimes living with these things and they become the norm, it's hard to know when its bad and you question yourself or what you think you are feeling, hard to explain.
