MS means being NI - Neurologically Impaired. Ironically (?) I was a teacher of Emotionally Disturbed kids, many with secondary classifications of NI. No Short Term Memory (STM) is often part of that. You need to actively use strategies to help your short term memory. I like a Sensory approach. Designate a note book to writing down what you do (Kinetic), reread when necessary (visual), tell yourself what you did (auditory)(I do this, talking out loud about taking my morning meds, leave a visual clue by having my afternoon ones out separated from them, and visible so I know if I see them but not my AM ones, I took them. I follow a routine very seriously in that and all things (same go to and get up times for sleep make me a consistent sleeper) and keep awareness up of your potential for forgetting. Don't forget you forget!!!! Helps me. Now I kind of get it. Think I'd be a better teacher now I "get" it.
