ADHD and Clusters.

[devonrex]

Was reading a study that linked autoimmune disorders as higher in adhd people and biological siblings, curious if there may be a link to clusters? How many here know they have adhd or are pretty sure?

To note, I was diagnosed years ago, so that is another.

I’m diagnosed and medicated. Anecdotally, dextroamphetamine seems to have a short term preventative effect for the 4-5 hours it’s in my system. I’m episodic, and today is actually the first day that I have had one break through within a 4 hour window of dosing during a cycle. It was definitely on the lower end pain wise. As it’s obviously a stimulant, makes sense as to why it works for me that way.

I am Autistic with ADHD.  I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder, cluster headaches and migraine.

I’ve had similar questions, and what helped me was tracking symptoms closely while also getting input from others dealing with both. I started using Migraine Buddy to log attacks and patterns—it’s not made just for clusters, but it still gives good insights. If you're curious, check out more details. It’s been useful for figuring out triggers I might’ve missed.
