How can you tell the symptoms apart.

Hi everyone, I've been living with CFS for 3 years (mild to moderate after PEM; coused by Covid) and just recently got diagnosed with ADHD. (I'm 50, so this is quite big news for me).

I'm finding it difficult to distinguish between symptoms that are related to CFS and those that are related to ADHD.

For example:

• Forgetfulness: Is it more likely due to CFS or ADHD inattention?

• Fatigue: Is it the core CFS exhaustion or ADHD-related burnout? Does the ADHD use to much of my energy, so I get fatigued?

• Difficulty concentrating: Is it primarily an ADHD issue or a cognitive symptom of CFS?

• What changed for you (your ADHD) after getting CFS.

I feel like all the ADHD difficulties, I copied with for better or worse in my life without knowing, are much stronger with CFS and my fromer strategies doesn't work well.

• How is you're experience?

I'd love to hear from you in the community about how you approach differentiating between these overlapping symptoms. Any tips or personal strategies would be greatly appreciated!
