Like when my Mom was in hospice, I WAS NOT going to leave her bedside. But by the grace of God my sister and I got good nights sleep every night we were there. 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.
