You know you have MS when....
 

Everyone finish the sentence:

Here's mine:

you are excited because you get pretty cane's for Christmas :D

...you can't figure out why the DVD won't rewind.

you put a bandaid on the wrong finger and can't figure out why the boo boo still hurts so much :D

...true story.... just not mine :D

You can't answer "So, what did you do on the weekend?" (or remember if you ate today).

Cherie

You have to check and see where the blood came from?:eek:

You right a Reminder list so you don't forget what to do for the day but, you can't remember what you did with the list.

you TRIP over a Cheerio on the floor.

You get lost when driving to a grocery store you've gone to a zillion times:):rolleyes:

you put your AFOs on backwards, and don't notice for an hour!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D LOL!

You start to walk to the kitchen to get a drink - but pass the living room where someone has left the TV on - so you go to turn it off but an interesting cat commercial comes on so you stand there to watch it - and it reminds you that you need to clean out the kitty litter box - so you go to do that - but pass the laundry room and remember that you need to transfer the clothes from the washer to the dryer - so you stop to do that and have to unload the dryer to make room for the new batch of wet clothes - which you put in the dryer but forget to turn it on. By this time 20 minutes have passed - you cannot figure out WHY you're so thirsty - the cat is still patiently waiting by the litter box and a huge pile of clothes waiting to be folded and put away have appeared on the couch. :mfr_wha:

And I wonder why I'm so exhausted sometimes!? :thud:

you can't finish a sentence because you

You know you have feet, but where in the &^%$ are they.

you get quietly handed a card for the women's shelter, because the BETASERON bruises on your upper arms make you look like a battered woman....

u make a list for the grocerys,and loose it in the pizza frezzer at the store.

You answer the phone using the tv remote and wonder why the phone isn't working and now what's wrong with the tv? :Scratch-Head:

I did this on the way to the neuro....was so lost had to call dh to come get me. Ended up missing my appt. But on the good side of it....neuro believed me when I told him about the memory problems! :p

My Olhipie says

When you laugh at a joke and you pee your leg bag...

You drop lunch on the floor and fall over picking it up :O {Major 'dropsies' these days, ;) }

OMG!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!! You so perfectly described my average day!!!!
Of course then there are days when my feet are so numb that by the end of the day I'm so tired from wobbling around doing chores and errands that when I finally get to kick my feet up I realize my ballet flats have been on the wrong feet all day!!!!!!!!!:D

You know you have MS when...
 

...you thought of a really good ending to this sentence... but by the time you wanted to finish reading everyone else's... YOU FORGOT IT!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :D ....and know that there are people out there that will actually identify with this!!! :hug:

My sweetheart does this all the time...and its really bad when it is something important! I try to figure where he was going with the conversation and help him complete it...he calls it his black hole of words...

When I go to the micro (which is next to the fridge) to heat up a cup of
water for tea and put the cup in the fridge. :eek:
Put a pkg. of frozen food in the cabinet instead of the freezer which is next
to the cabinet. ( That was a defrosted Ugh ) :eek:


When you are having a great conversation with someone and right in the
middle of it you can't remember the words to go on. :confused:

Jappy

when you get up in the middle of the night because your bladder is screaming "EMPTY ME NOW!!!!! and after sitting there for what seems like ages nothing happens, you end up falling asleep on the toilet then waking up wondering what you're doing there! :o

...when you can sit for 10 full minutes watching Suzy's penguins over and over and over and over and over and over... :o

Love Suzy's Penguins!
 

You're kiddin? :shocked: ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Susy's Penguins
 

:) At the risk of making this about something that has nothing to do with the thread (sorry) does anyone else think about who you would like to slap into the icy cold lake???? Of course this is ONLY ON A BAD MS DAY!!!! lol HA! :wink:

Oh dear, I'm afraid I might be showing my true colors.... Does that mean I'm no longer a "new kid"?!?!?!

:Thats-Funneh: y'all are too funny! not sure which penguin i am...it could go either way on bad and good days lol

:D:D:D
I do this all the time! The one dd loves the most is the time she found my boots in the freezer. She said, "Mom, didn't know someone could force 'cold feet'" Now anytime I lose something she says, "have you checked the freezer?"

WOW!!

We all do the same things which means we are all perfectly "normal"!! :D

I know I have (CIS) MS when I try and pour a drink into a glass and it goes over the side and down the counter and onto the floor!

Also with my tremors I can make a great milk shake!!

Conversations are fun too when my sparkling brain plays word scramble!

you know you have MS when you're dining out, and have to politely decline a *GLASS* and ask for a plastic cup instead.

When your knees buckle-up in 12-degree weather, while walking across the parking lot. Same can happen in 70 degree weather as well. :(

Cayo just wait we might have to ask for the tippy cup someday..haha

Joyce, I have at work...almost put the newly made salads in the office safe instead of the cooler in the grill area.....:eek:

I work a a McDonalds...and today.....

You know you have MS when....(OH wait they say I dont have MS..but oh well...you know you might have MS when.....

you are taking someones order in Drive Thru (I manage a McDonalds) and the customer asks you..what soups you have ....and you answer....We have Barbeque, chicken noodle, and chili.......now if I noticed I said bbq is one thing....but the customer got quiet...and coworkers looked over at me and were laughing....saying we have bbq soup.....

so you know you have MS...when you dont even know what they are talking about...till they tell you what you had said....hehehehee

You know you have MS....when you have to write yourself notes to remind you to read the other note....about another note..to remind you of something.....:)

hugss all, sarah

When you look at your DD and for a second can't remember
her name. :confused::confused:

When you get into the car and sit there and say where was I
going. :eek:

When you take something out for dinner and leave it to defrost
come home and wonder what to make for dinner. :mfr_wha:

Jappy :Help:

I put 2 bandaids perfectly placed on my finger...admired my excellent job, then continued to get dressed and dang my finger still hurt! I looked down and realized I bandaged the wrong finger! :D

confusion
 

You know you have MS when you post a response to this thread but post it in another thread! Thus confusing the readers of that thread.

Here's what my response was:

confusion
You know you have MS when *suddenly* you get confused after weeks(?) of noticing the talk about changing the "MS Social Chat" name to something else...

the confusion: the first and lasting thought was that the naming issue concerned the *actual* chat-room rather than the *forum* board...

That's when you know you have MS.

Niko:cool:

Today is Tuesday but it has a Thursday feel.

You know you have MS when....

...You get lost in your own house for a second

....You say "we have cake to drink"

....You are so happy to feel those annoying zaps in your feet after they've been totally numb, and then are bummed when the feet are numb again

.... You feel like a Family Circus cartoon with all the cirles you run in trying to get yourself together for the day.

.... You find a book in the freezer and are not quite sure how it got there


:D

when... after just ONE beer, your legs start to wobble, and you start to list a wee bit to the left, like a small sailboat crossing the winds at sea.

and you say words that begin with the same LETTER as the word you WANT, and don't even notice, 'til folks go "Huh?"
