Do most of you suffer from memory loss. I constantly find myself asking my wife questions and she always has the same response. "I already told you". I tell her that I am forgetful from the disease and I think she believes me but it's annoying for her to constantly have to repeat herself and she also might feel like I don't really listen. Do others have this same issue or is it another type of memory loss. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there:)
my mother has memory loss all the time long term and short term(bear in mind shes had her Ms for years) comes and goes i too find i repeat my answers to her constant questions.. what ive done to help her is an occasional reading session where i ask her what happened in the previous pages before moving onto the next chapter..(the concentration is quite sweet) but improvement is evident. atleast twice a week.. quizes and riddles help too.. its like testing yourself..memory games on android app store could help..if she were able to write i would also advise a daily journal at which any point you can look back and refer too..

Forgetfulness is a part of the MS. I was told it's where a lesion is on the brain.

I forgot my keys this morning...in the fridge somehow...

soo..yup memory problem...

I tend to think "did I do that? I must have...I better go check..."

Most the time I have remember to do things....just not remembered if I have...lol
Which causes me to get up and down to check multiple time...(exercise?)

o...Also forgot my lunch this morning...will be hungry by 5 when works over :(...

I find lists help...as long as you don't forget where you put your lists...
Cell phone list apps with reminders are awesome!
