Joelle

Thank goodness you had a compassionate judge! Sometimes they can be real...well, you know. Sorry you had to go through all that...

I've done the same thing with people when you see them totally out of context. I had the same thing happen to me the other day at the grocery store. Ran into someone I have known for 10 years. We chatted, she called me by name, talked to me for about 15 minutes and for the life of me I could not think of who she was. I felt like an idiot. It finally came to me when I was driving home and passed her office! She's the president of the Chamber of Commerce!!! I worked with her husband on several projects and her son owns a nursery in Reno! Maybe she didn't notice...

Hopefully after Tuesday, you can get some rest and things will settle down for you.

I have also heard that Aricept works...maybe you can talk to your doc about it.

You've been through a lot recently, don't be so hard on yourself. You need to take some time for YOU...

Cog Fog is not fun or funny!

You need rest!

Glad the court thing is over.

Lots of

Awwww, Joellelee, take it easy on yourself. And you're right: we DO understand.

Ya shoulda been here tonight when my granddtr (2) got a little flashlight and shined it on the floor. Then she chased it saying, "Come back here, wight!"

Keeping you in my prayers. (((Joellelee)))

Stress really does a job on my 'cog-fob'. I can't believe the difference it makes when I am nice and relaxed with no worries. It's almost like being a normal person. Except I can't remember what normal means anymore. My normal of 15 years ago is long gone. But I'm talking about my normal since MS.

Aww Joelle. I'm crying right along with you.

I feel your pain and your humiliation, cos I've been there too. Not quite to the extent that you have, but almost. I understand how you must be feeling.

You and I have shared too many not nice experiences this past year, but at least we understand each other a little better for it.

Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts.....

That must have been very difficult, Joelle. You got through the worst of this though now, and things will start to get easier. You are almost done this very difficult part in your life.

Joelle, I am concerned about the cognitive struggles you are experiencing. I have gone through that myself, particularly when I've been under considerable stress . . . so it's not all that unusual for us. However, I do think you should mention this to your neurologist if things seem to be getting worse, because you are on Tysabri.

It is very unlikely there is any connection, but cognitive and leg coordination problems are the two things I remember should be checked into.

Big hugs, Joelle.

Cherie

(((Joellelee)))...I'm almost crying now, I know how miserable high stress situations can be. Hang in there ~ only one more day till the election!
