Potential ADHD

Everyday living

Hi Everyone, been a while since I’ve been on here

The weather has finally changed and I couldn’t be happier (well, more grey skies and bit less sun would be nice)

Anyway, the title

I see an occupational therapist from the community neuro rehab team and she asked me me if I had ADHD. I said I have no idea

Cut a long story short, just had a telephone assessment and though she cannot diagnose, she said it looks like that I’ve got it. Now I just gotta wait for 2 years on the list to be properly diagnosed

On July 29th this year I had my 10 years since MS diagnosis…and I waited nearly 2 years to get that….so….I know I can wait

I’m not really sure what to make of it. I just thought it was my personality (fire sign, highly strung) so I think it’s gonna take me a while to get my head round this

So I’ve got MS, and potentially ADHD……what a kerfuffle

I totally feel for you and especially having to wait so long for a diagnosis! I’m under the perimental health team and my OT queried the same with me. I know my lesions are near all those areas that affect mood and behaviour so now it’s a case of working out what came first the chicken or the egg!

You must be so confused and your ADHD symptoms won’t help that either but I hope you get some answers and some help to embrace it :smiling_face:
