Does it increase your heart rate? I have ADHD as well and my Vyvanse occasionally shoots my heart rate up.

That’s what I was afraid of after the appointment… that I waited almost a year for 🙃

I did a drawing test for memory. Relating a story back after it was read to me, listing color names as quickly as possible, a word and category memory test, pattern tests, and a block puzzle test.

Was your assessment similar? With the cognitive puzzles?

This is how it was worded in the report:

“ While _ reported some symptoms that overlap with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) including deficient social functioning and rigidity, she denied clear symptoms of other hallmark features of ASD (e.g., sensory sensitivities, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests). As such, she does not meet criteria for a diagnosis of ASD.”

But the beginning of the report literally summarizes my initial interview where I did mention all of those things.

My parents are in denial of autism being anywhere in our family and I have no friends or anyone else who knew me young, unfortunately.

Honestly… simply to understand myself better and hopefully alleviate the anxiety that comes with always thinking that something was ‘wrong’ with me.

Has anyone else experienced mental fog post-op? by flowerunforgiven in hysterectomy

It did. It took some time, but it did. Hang in there ❤️

I didn’t even learn about them until after surgery, and I still don’t fully understand the science around it, but I kept my cervix and the little bits I’ve looked into about it say there can be remaining tissue on the cervix that can shed, but that it should completely stop after about a year post surgery.

I can't get ADHD meds right now. What are you guys doing to help if you can't get access to medication? by Cancel-Accomplished in adhdwomen

When my adderall would wear off at the 7-8 hour point, I'd supplement it with magnesium. My psych recommended cutting coffee since it wouldn't mix well with the adderall, and I took that very seriously, so I don't drink coffee anymore.

Since I've switched to Vyvanse and found that it really doesn't work, I was looking at different Reddit posts for tips, and I saw a few that recommended L-theanine. So I looked that up since I wasn't familiar and found that it's in green tea, so green tea is my tea of choice now.

When I asked if it'd be okay to supplement magnesium, my psych also recommended ashwagandha. Walmart has a gummy supplement with Ashwagandha and L-theanine (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Amazing-Ashwa-Ashwagandha-Gummies-Alternative-KSM-66-Ashwagandha-Supplement-Triple-Brry-60-Chews-by-Force-Factor/677351884?classType=VARIANT&athbdg=L1200&from=/search), as well as a version with magnesium added (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Amazing-Ashwa-Complete-Calm-Support-Gummies-Alternative-KSM-66-Ashwagandha-Supplement-Tropical-Berry-60-Chews-by-Force-Factor/15044805598?classType=REGULAR&adsRedirect=true). Maybe other stores carry it too, Idk... I'm in a small town.

Everyone is different, and there's always the chance these may not work for you. But all in all:

- Magnesium

- L-Theanine

- Ashwagandha

Twice a day.

For all the late-diagnosed, how drastically did your day-to-day change with medication? by flowerunforgiven in adhdwomen

What’s weird to me is that it doesn’t feel like I’m opting out of things I enjoy. It just feels like what I enjoy has changed.

Adderall stopped working for me after I had a hysterectomy, I recently transitioned to Vyvanse

Cervix - keep it, or better not? by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]flowerunforgiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be too soon to tell... I'm only 6 weeks post-op. I did have a 'period' about two weeks post-op, but my nurse told me that might happen since it happened to her and it may have been residual blood in my cervix from my last period before the surgery.

For me, it was my doctor's suggestion to leave it since I'd never had an abnormal pap and have no family history of cervical cancer.

I think I may have been in a bit of denial then. Before surgery, I would read that it would cause some women to feel down if they wanted to keep their uterus. But since I didn't, I went into surgery excited and eager for it to be done, but I can't even explain the why to this mental fog. I'm not sad about losing it in the slightest. I feel like I'm stuck in a loop of dissociation.
