I currently have a sinus infection. That’s annoying, but I’ve noticed for a long time that when I’m sick it’s like I don’t feel the ADHD symptoms.
I lose the constant slight understimulation and I’m more mentally sharp and content. It’s like my body knows I need to rest and actually gives me the mental state to tolerate that.
Obviously it sucks to be sick, but it almost makes it a nice experience for me to be able to actually hone in and make a lot of progress on my projects or whatever without fighting my brain at all.
Anyone else experience this or similar?
Sinus pressure, and to a lesser extent fever, massively increase my ahdd symptoms. Can’t think straight and constantly losing focus, even more than without meds.
That can also be linked to sleep issues. Stuffy nose and fever makes you sleep less well and that in turn can negatively impact your ADHD.
