When I'm sick, my symptoms go away. Do yours as well? (lemmy.world)

I currently have a sinus infection. That's annoying, but I've noticed for a long time that when I'm sick it's like I don't feel the ADHD symptoms.

I lose the constant slight understimulation and I'm more mentally sharp and content. It's like my body knows I need to rest and actually gives me the mental state to tolerate that.

Obviously it sucks to be sick, but it almost makes it a nice experience for me to be able to actually hone in and make a lot of progress on my projects or whatever without fighting my brain at all.

Anyone else experience this or similar?

I'm largely inattentive-type with some of the socially oriented hyperactivity issues. I can sit still but boy do I love to interrupt and finish peoples sentences. 😅
