That actually makes a lot of sense to me. ADHD can be phrased as a regulation disorder. Emotions, executive function/ attention. If anything internal (literally any kind of pain) presents itself for my attention, it wins. No contest.

I have nasty seasonal allergies (at least one per season). Whenever it flares up, the is a marked increase in my needs and decrease in my productivity. I'm hoping to start immunotherapy for them soon. I get my ADHD and my allergies from my dad and immunotherapy has done him wonders.

Meditative techniques can assist with the regulation of emotions/attention. I speak from experience. It takes practice when you’re feeling well to be able to channel it when you’re not feeling well. It’s not as hippy-dippy as you might think (unless you want it to be). No yoga mat required.
