Well...I'm not Dx with MS...but I can certainly tell u that I am now ADD...& sometimes ADHD (hyperactive)...when nerves are on fire! Can no longer concentrate or multi-task...& I used to be exceptional at that! ((hugs))

Me too! I took pride in my mutli-tasking abilities, my job requires extreme multi-tasking,lol, and these days, I get distracted so easily, I find it so hard to focus on jus ONE thing, let alone 6/7 things at once, and.......I find that when I am focused on something, I am deaf and numb to the world. My poor kids, they get ignored a lot lately, that is the worst feeling for me, and it aggravates my husband, He thinks I am ignoring him on purpose.
I am not diagnosed yet with anything really.
Just putting injecting my experience and thanks for letting me vent!

ADHD is not a disorder that seems to come on at different
times in our life you are born with ADHD but you might
not recognize or be diagnoised until later on in life.
Every one has symtoms of ADHD but people that are truely
ADHD have symptons daily and repeat their behaviors over
and over again. Our life styles are so busy now it's
easy to think the whole world has it.:)

I was dxed with ADHD years before I was dxed with MS.

I have often thought my cognitive issues related to MS mimic ADD....I have trouble planning, concentrating and following through with tasks.
However, I did not have this prior to my onset of MS symptoms.

I wasn't diagnoised with ADHD until I was 50 and it was
because a friend told me I was ADHD. After I actually
went to the doctor and had brain scans etc. we looked
back through my life and got answers to some of my
difficulties I knew I was born with it. When I went
through meneopause the symtoms where way worse and now
with medication and learning stratagies to cope I do
a lot better.:)
