This used to happen to me all the time until I took the Cognifit Class offered by the National MS Society. I highly recommend it when it comes to your area. By learning simple tricks, techniques and new coping skills these issues have become slim to none. I continue to practice my tips in my daily life.

I also find it easier to laugh at myself now when this happens. I hope you find something that helps your cogfog.

Happens to me all the time. You're not alone. I forget almost instantly. Even if I ask about it or we discuss it a few times. I am also a lot slower at "catching on" to things. Ugh.. I love the lack of cognitive function (sarcasm)...

That is one of my worst problems. I had to quit my job I loved because it in 2007. I write EVERYTHING down into a small notebook that I date each day and carry with me everywhere. I have many of them for example dated on the front page: from August 21, 2014 to November 20, 2014. I keep all of them so I can go back and the info is right there. If I didn't write it down everything would be a blank! You are not ALONE with this problem.

Thanks to everyone for the responses. I feel better knowing this is just one more symptom of the MS, and not some specific problem with my mind.

I just need to remember to ALWAYS have paper and pen with me, no matter how short the trip or conversation I'm having.

Yeah, the brain-farts are a real joy. Not!

Thanks again!

I also have this problem. I can't remember all the time. My husband says I have selective memory! He is only teasing me. It is a definite problem and I get so very frustrated. I can never seem to remember to write things down.I really don't. I have had MS since 1989 and this is a fairly new thing at least a couple of years.
