MS sucks.

I once forgot which part of my body the hip was (I confused it with the thigh)...had to look up online and find a picture. I was mortified - now at least I can look back without wanting to cry about it.

MS sucks. Oh wait, I said that already. Darn memory

ah ha,

i can relate also. just before i was forced to retire (i was 53 when dx'd) i could tell i wasn't as sharp. and i had to be as i was an RN in NICU (neonatal intensive care).

i'm not saying that will happen to you. i'd encourage you to share this with your neuro. there are some meds you can take that can help with cognition.
i've been taking Namenda for short term memory loss and have had an improvement in my thinking.

i'm glad you posted. let us know how you're doing.

I know how you feel. I was just dx with MS last sept. and it has been so hard. I just had a baby two months ago and i found myself feeding her to offen so i started writeing down in a notebook the time she ate and how much this way i wouldnt feed her to much. writeing things down is the easiest way to get though my day. Try it, it may help you alot.
