Joined an online hangout for MS'rs featuring a talk about MS and cognitive function.
It was advised that brain training would not really help and it was more about the techniques used to remember things.
Eg. Keeping items in the same place all the time...Writing things down... Etc....

I work in IT and the 'brain hiccups' became noticeable to myself in the very early stages.
Now, record keeping has become very much a part of my life.
(But it gets annoying when I remember having recorded something but not remembering where.)
Gotta laugh, otherwise I will cry.

Write the list. Leave the list at home. Bring the list and leave it in the car. Can't find the list and wonder, why am I not using my phone for the list? I surely would not leave or lose it!
