Thank you Vivian. When you share your personal anecdotes and behaviors you help us understand people. We all have family members with either ADD or autism or bipolar and we can relate to what you are saying and understand ourselves better. Also fascinating to hear that as brilliant as you are certain tasks involving variable sequences such as pumping gas can bewilder people and that a chemical change can lift the action
I so agree with your comment. Enjoyed Vivian’s presentation and I have close acquaintances with ADHD and autism. Very helpful information. Thanks for educating us.
Interesting discussion. As a spouse of someone diagnosed with ADD it is no surprise that they have increased touch/pain reception. I would also contend they have an increase in probably all the senses. My wife can hear higher frequencies than normal (can't go into an electronics store), doesn't like loud noises, bright lights, and very sensitive to smells. She also has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
I have almost the same symptoms as your wife! I've had ADHD all my life but in my early 50's I started to develop lots of pain including photophobia, and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Also I have super sensitive hearing in high frequencies etc. I wonder now if the driver of all these symptoms are caused by my ADHD. 😮
Thank you Vivian for sharing your personal journey with ADHD so honest and inspirational. Very interesting research on ADHD and pain both of which we need to learn more through scientists on TWIN. Be safe, be fearless.
Thank you for sharing your personal perspectives. As mentioned before we all have loved ones coping with challenges of the brain and pancreas and heart and all other organs! Thank you for your openness.
I have adhd and fibromyalgia. What's super weird is that I have had non allergic rhinitis since childhood and tried everything for it then just learned to live with it. A few years ago I was prescribed venlafaxine er for anxiety (already was taking Adderall for adhd which doesnt help with pain and gabapentin for fibro) and within a few days, my non allergic rhinitis was gone. And it stayed gone for like 2 years. Maybe it was placebo but I'm sure there are plausible biological explanations as well. I just haven't found them yet. lol
Hi I was hoping ADHD meds help my fybromyalgia I have ADHD asperger's heds do you have heds venlafaxine lowers histamine you have histamine intolerance try dao
I’ve known people with AD(H)D who were more sensitive, and people who were less sensitive to pain. And then there was my brother. When he broke his foot, a nasty displaced Jones fracture, he said it hurt “a bit” when he pedaled his bike two miles back home (!), and was pale verging on grey when he came inside and passed out. But after surgery he didn’t feel any pain at all. No numbness or neuropathy, he just didn’t feel any pain, either in the bone or at the surgical wound. Maybe 10 years later, walking down the street after a transcutaneous vagal stimulation session, he felt a sudden blast of pain from his long since healed foot so severe he had to sit down. 30 seconds later, he went back to being pain free for the rest of his life. Go figure.
I also have comorbid ADD and BPD 1 and the pain and touch sensitivity is real. Trying to force myself to focus on or complete a task I'm disinterested in causes me physical pain. Stimulants take this away. Overstimulation from mania causes persistent physical pain and discomfort. Mood stabilizers take this away. Just a light brush against certain parts of my body sends shivers and goosebumps down my arms and legs. Even mildly cold temperatures are unbearable to me, but I like scalding showers oddly enough.
@@Truerealism747 It's more of a burning, itchy, soreness in my nervous system. Apparently, this is a relatively common thing among people with ADHD, according to some studies. For ADHD, I take Adderall XR, which really helps. For BPD I take lamotrigine/lamitcal, which some studies suggest may also help with symptoms of autism.
I think I've had ADHD all my life, which incidentally as a musician learning to play an instrument when I was 12. I was able to do a do hyperfocus practice sessions and within a matter of 6 months I was able to play at a level of someone who took 20 years to get to the same level I did within 6 months. Also the amount of dopamine that was released during these 3 hour practice sessions must have been tremendous because I walked a way feeling great! Now that I'm older I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 52 and have lots of global pain thru out my body. But your talk today got me thinking if there is any correlation between ADHD and fibromyalgia, OR is ADHD morphed into more of a pain driver as I get older. Hmmm interesting I'd say. I'll have to take a deeper dive into researching ADHD and pain to see what I can come up with. Thank you all..!

I'm happy Tim wasn't chewing gum. It's a misophonia trigger.
With ADHD she is very hard to listen to ...
