I got diagnosed in my mid-thirties and finally getting on medication for it literally made me cry because of how normal I felt.
Dam, this makes me want to get tested. Does medication clear the fog, or help with the overload shutdown?
Both, though in some ways my fog has gotten worse and I believe this is from long covid and changing other medications. So it's hard for me to really judge that for now.
Interesting, but before you got Covid it was clearing things up?
I started meds after I had COVID and was already experiencing long term symptoms (brain fog but also fatigue). So I do feel less foggy after starting meds but I also still have more memory problems than I used to pre-COVID. I also have had increased brain fog lately because I'm tapering off a different need and have had brutal withdrawal from it. I just don't think I can tease apart what's coming from where.
Ah, I see. Still promising to hear, thank you for sharing with me.
40s here and tried so many different things. Got on vyvanse a few weeks ago, and the best way I can describe it is I feel normal. My fear is it will stop working one day
