My husband did convince me to go home one night and I must say that he was right. I needed it.
When I had my psych eval for my SSDI I had a very interesting conversation with the neuro psychologist who did the testing. He said that with MS all of our memories re still there. But with stress some of the pathways are temporarily blocked. That's why at night time in our sleep sometimes it just comes to you.

Thank you Lynn. It seems that stress and MS effects some of us in different ways and I for one will become more aware of that. I have had similar experiences at night as you. I always thought it was because I had to open so many new path ways and even though I did accomplish that my mind was always on overload just helping me to get things done then at night when it finally had a chance to rest I would remember things as well.
For me recognizing my body functions is very important and education plays a major role for sure. Thanks to all.
