I had my neurocog assessment and the results were mostly positive. I have the typical memory and executive function disconnect issues for others in my age group with MS. That's the good news.

The bad news is, the problem is enough to effect my job! I've talked with my HR person about it twice, and my boss talked with her as well. As a legal secretary I have a lot of responsibility and stress. Lots to keep track of and follow up on. I can't forget to file something important or to make a call, etc.

I'm afraid I'm going to need to change jobs. This is the only job I know. I've been a secretary forever. Without a memory how can I work? I write notes to do things, but forget about the note. What other types of work can I do that doesn't require the same amount of attention, yet pays well?

I'm going to discuss the issue with my boss today. I forgot some things last Friday, which I'm sure he noted.

Wish me luck.
