hi! i don’t know of any researched/scientific study linking ad/hd, but i do have all 3…sort of.
i have a sub-type of asthma, exercise induced. i also had a paradoxical reaction to terbuteline(sp?) – a medication that was used primarily as a broncho-dilator for asthma patients but was also used to stop pre-term labor – the reason i was given it…..and it caused broncho-constriction/difficulty breathing/asthma-like symptoms. very scary -i think they stopped using that med because too many incidences.
anyway, history of migraines too, worst in my 30’s and early 40’s, but were improved during pregnancy(s), and, interestingly, virtually eliminated since starting med for ad/hd…..which leads me to think there very well could be a connection there!
it’ll be interesting to see others experiences/any other connections.
another connection i was wondering about but had not gotten any responses – is there increased incidence of hypermobility with ad/hd? my son and i are both hypermobile, i have a diagnosis of add, and i suspect he also has it, but currently he has diagnosis of asd.
