im audhd so I think that makes a difference..I have extremely high tolerance for acute pain like tattoos ...injury ect but low tolerance for prolonged or i call it annoying pain where its not jarring its just there and its definitely the attention thing ..its soooo distracting ..at least with acute pain it demands your attention so I can focus on pushing through it ..the lower level annoying pain is completely intolerable.

ADHD medication helped me cope much better with my chronic pain condition. The meds make me able to focus less on the pain, allowing me the ability to focus on other things.

What’s also wild is that ADHD seems to be linked to some really weird reactions to anaesthetics. In 2011, researchers at a German ADHD clinic reported that 10-20% of their patients described dental local anaesthesia wearing off unusually quickly, barely working, or sometimes lasting up to 24 hours. Some even reported paradoxical reactions to benzodiazepines that made them MORE alert. And one woman apparently remembered the surgeons’ conversations during the first 10 minutes of surgery, despite being under general anaesthesia and completely paralysed. Wild stuff.

You’re describing h-EDS, and when it comes to the meds portion, doesn’t dopamine improve muscle activation and tone? So if someone has h-EDS (which is often correlated with adhd and/or autism), and they take the adhd meds, then between the norepinephrine and the improved dopamine regulation, wouldn’t it help with their muscle activation, helping with their stability and proprioception, and helping with their pain sensitization? I have h-EDS and all the symptoms that go with it, including ADHD, and my body is so much more stable when on my adhd meds, like my muscles stabilize my joints so much better. When I wean off of them I’m always more unstable and have to work harder for muscle activation to stay out of pain. Treating patients for h-EDS, I feel like I see this correlation all the time

Anecdotally, acute pain doesn’t bother me nearly as much as chronic pain. Tattoos are relaxing and small injuries I can walk off in seconds. However, my shoulder impingement makes me want to cry most days. I can absolutely see this being related to dopamine/attention, I notice it much more on my slow days at work.

The range of topics you talk about are like my exact hyper-fixation. This is the best TikTok science page

fellow ADHD and chronic pain haver 🙋‍♀️. first, i think there’s an important distinction to be made between pain threshold and pain tolerance. i have a decently okay pain tolerance, and ive certainly built that up more the longer ive had chronic pain. but my pain threshold remains low, supporting what we know about central sensitization. further, im not just sensitive to pain, but any changes in my body. twice now, ive sought treatment for infections before serious manifestations took hold. specifically, i had a kidney infection that wasn’t detectable via CT or even culture, but my bloodwork and symptoms clearly proved that that’s what was going on. i guess it can also be a blessing in that way? 😅 but only if we’re believed and supported when we do seek help, which in most other cases i and most others have not been.

I wonder if there's a link between ADHD and how well anesthetics work? I can be given the max amount of local anesthetics and it won't scratch the surface. I've also woken up during procedures.

if we feel pain more how come we forget we're horribly injured and/or in pain. Like little pain= very ouchy and uncomfortable big pain = background noise

they have a higher chance of being hypermobile too which causes pain

Did any of the papers used in this meta analysis state if they ruled out common comorbidities like EDS/Hypermobility, MCAS, and MTHFR polymorphisms? MCAS impacts prostaglandins and other inflammatory markers, and MTHFR polymorphisms impact homocysteine myelin which can also contribute to increased pain.

LOVING this background! It's calming yet interesting without being distracting. Love the book slightly in the corner instead of being so in your face. Very nice!

The pain processing paradox between Borderline and acute vs. chronic pain is a whole other neurobiology rabbit hole...

When I was diagnosed and finally prescribed adhd medication my chronic back pain improved significantly. Granted I had already had all the fusion surgeries my spine needed. Drs always seemed surprised when I told them. I never would’ve been able to earn my masters without the meds because they helped both my chronic back pain and focus.

10ish yrs ago I got diagnosed with Osteo-arthritis after years of horrid joint pain, I do very physical labour daily, in hell pain, waking up from sleep whimpering with horrid joint pain. I became so stiff, I want sure how much longer until I’d be a struggling mess, that can’t work or even dress myself. Rheumatologist said I’d soon be on daily opioids. 2 yrs ago I finally listen to a friend and got diagnosed with ADHD, 2 hrs after 1st dose I wasn’t limping, my body felt loose and I haven’t had a drop of joint pain since, feel 10 yrs younger. My theory is that my muscles had become so tight after 55 years of overthinking, constant multiple conversations in my head all day, every day and blah blah blah then meds finally chilled me out more than I’ve ever felt.
