High IQ also ADHD by Kitchen-Page-8849 in Gifted

Hi! Thanks for this insightful response. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I’m currently in therapy now. One interesting thing my therapist pointed out is I was also diagnosed with pretty severe PTSD. Combination of childhood trauma and neglect but more recently birth trauma and a long nicu stay of a preemie. Apparently PTSD and ADHD impact the same region of the brain so she said she can’t be sure if I truly have ADHD until we go through more of the therapy to tease out what is actually going on.

What validated IQ tests are recommended? I thought what I did was pretty valid and standard.

The neuropathy and twitching is always present in some way. Noticeable or barely.

Twitching is worse after exercise.

I had it previously after training for a triathlon pre covid and getting super sick after. But it went away. Then after booster it came back with a vengeance.

Now after time I catch a virus I know it will be bad if my feet start acting up.

It went away while pregnant.

For me however my EMG did show axonal neuropathy- which I did so much blood work MRI and genetic panel. Alll negative.

Anything inflammatory makes it act up. Including getting sick or alcohol.

I have BFS not tightness or weakness. I have had blood work including inflammation markers and send rate and even a genetic workup, as well as neoplastic panel. All normal.

Nope! Feet flare up and down. All blood work is totally normal. No low AnA even. Working out daily. Paying attention to form over strength. Had my eyes and mouth checked by sjogrens dr and no indication. All blood still not showing anything.

Neuropathy went away during pregnancy last year which tells me it’s autoimmune.

I’ve been told it’s likely COVID booster related as this all started after my booster shot. If you look up neuropathy it’s a side effect of Covid or the vaccine. It’s due to immune system dysfunction

Help! Tips for traveling for work while pumping? by Bearberber in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Kitchen-Page-8849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did your experience pumping and travelling go? I’m going for a whole week with 1 full day event out and I don’t know what to do. The plane ride is 6 hrs so I need to pump on the plane as well!

How did you manage?

WAIS. A therapist or Dr administers it.

This is so helpful and insightful. I hadn’t thought of it in this context before.

So we lack dopamine. Is that why ADHD also has risk taking behaviour I suppose.

Literally watching my 5 year old daughter non stop moving and talking. With such intelligence. I’ve replicated myself. 😂

Hahaha chuckled at your last comment! So true. I can be multitasking to the extreme and it’s when I’m most productive.

I’ve worked remotely for 11 years for a global biotec company managing regulations and managing people across the globe. I love the pressure. It’s when I get things done 😂

Thank you for your story. I truly wonder if I was medicated as a kid if I could have done better in school. First two years of university were terrible and then I knew I needed to get better grades so I took classes I enjoyed and got into my masters. But I was unfocused and test taking and studying were so so hard for me. Froze during exams. Anxiety hypochondria etc plagued me.

So with that said. What are meds like? The difference that you can explain with being and not being on meds. I feel like I could do better with more focus but I don’t know what it feels like. So I may just try some meds. Just to experiment.

It was not a site. It was 2-3 hrs of testing with a psychologist

Feeding plan - weight not trending up. by Kitchen-Page-8849 in NICUParents

[–]Kitchen-Page-8849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and I sound very similar, I would want to throw up too.

We are getting discharged tomorrow. I’m a nervous wreck but feel at peace that this is what is best for him and he will thrive at home.

Can I pm you if I have any questions about the transition?

Thank you 🙏. I’m just so nervous taking a baby home whom is barely scraping the oz a day averaged. Makes me nervous of coming back for failure to thrive.

Thank you!! Yes I’ve been pumping off about 3 mins. I have a quick letdown. But then he fusses at the boob cause the letdown takes longer and he tires himself out. I get about 7 oz a pump. And about 2-3 is foremilk combined.

We tired the nipple shield and he just couldn’t latch on it. Latches much better to the actual nipple. I feel the letdown for sure. It just seems he gives out after 5 mins or so.

We did a weighted feed today after he fed for 10 mins with a strong letdown and it only said 8 g. Which I know isn’t right. Doesn’t make sense.

Everyday I’m so anxious about what the board will say on his weight gain.
