I guess I was having problems with my depth perception.

Now I can tell when my eyes are getting all MS-y, I start pulling in too close to the garage.
Interesting thought Erin. Yes, my first attack (and really only symptom accept maybe some dizziness) was the O.N. It was mild. But I"ll tell you that this incident couldn't be depth perception related because like a complete ding bat I didn't even bother to look and just hit the pedal and burst out. What on earth was I thinking? I went to the shrink today before I had to drive to school and teach. I left my bag with wallet, glasses, school work, lectures etc. at home on the kitchen counter, got to the doc. and realized -- jeez, I forgot my "life". How could I do that??!!! BRAIN FOG. Had to turn around and drive 30 mins home to get it and then 30 mins. back to school. I feel like the Copaxone is making me stupid.

I dont think the Copaxone is making you stupid. Maybe you're having a "little" flare and it's messing with your cognition. I had a similar problem about a year ago that was so annoying. It came back when I had my little pseudo-flare about a month ago.

I really hate it when I'm trying to think of a word and cant get it...and I have to ask my boyfriend roundabout questions to get him to tell me what the word is.

Frain Bog sucks!
